Tuning PEGA Marketing
Hi,
Does anybody have a document where is described how to tweak the parameters of PEGA Marketing?
We now are playing with thread count and scalability as wel with the number of data flows we are using
We experience a high CPU volume load on our Unix boxes, up to 8 CPU, which frustrates other appservers running within the same CPU-Pool.
We are running PEGA Marketing 7.3
Kind regards,
Arjan Maus
Hi Arjan,
It will be beneficial if you look at the Data Flow run progress page -> component statistics
Sort the table by "% of total time" column and identify what types of components taking larger portion,
if strategy comes top, then the env is shortage on CPU power then improve:
1) Increase thread count (limit max to CPU/cores) say if you got a 6 core and 1 thread/core CPU. Then the max DF Thread count you could set would be 6x1 - 1 = 5
2) Number of DF nodes
if DDS dataset comes up top then investigate "Cassandra", improve cpu, disk I/O, DF node- lower thread count, batch size, number of DF nodes etc.
Suggest testing these in load test environment to come up with a optimal configuration settings to suit your requirement and achieve the desired benchmarks.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
