Major Performance issues

Hi everyone.

I have been having a few problems over the last 6 months with the performance of 6 databases I have created for the web.

They are all stored on a virtual server, the server has been given 2 dedicated processor, and 2 gig ram, plenty of hdd memory too.

The system shows it is running between 2% - 10% so I know it is is not maxed out.

The issues I have been having have escalated over the last 2 months, and now it is becoming a major problem.

The simplest of functions (ie. @command([editdocument])) is taking for ever to do, click the button, and the blue loading bar in IE just loads, and loads and loads…for 5-10mins if left.

When saving (@command) and an agent runs on websave to give it a new number, it is taking for ever to run the agent, saving the document, not letting the agent finish running cos it just hangs.

The slowness is not on 1 database, ranging from edit, to opening a document, to saving, all are starting to take their time.

The smallest, simplest database has about 5 forms, 5 views and around 2,000 documents, and takes its time doing anything.

The largest has around 50 forms, 20views, and about 250,000 documents.

I have been assured the virtual server is good enough to run multiple databases.

Has anyone had any performance issues like this before, and if so how did you combat it?

If not, does anyone have any ideas on how to test/check to see where the problem(s) may lie?

Many Thanks in advance.

No clue but some suggestions:

Is it a problem with the virtual server, the db design, or network?

Move the dbs to ‘real’ servers on the same network leg and see what happens. Put them local and see what happens. See if you can find the performance bottleneck.

What happens if you run the app in the Notes client?

If it’s a design issue, you’ll need to figure out the issue. There are any number of posts here and in the 4/5 forum that provide some guidance on db performance.

I had a ‘one user’ performance problem recently. Interesting thread that contains some nice debug information:

(spoiler alert: my problem turned out to be a corrupt db…)

Check for orphan agent data notes. These devils seem to just suck the life out of any database over time if they are not cleaned up. They are invisible and you need tools not supplied with Notes/Domino to get rid of them.

Here is a link to more information on them.
