Here are a few ways to get the application running the most efficiently.
- Consider setting the default for threaded discussions to "flat." People will
still be able to set thread mode their own views to "threaded," but setting
the default will ensure the "flat" mode for new users.
- If you're using a load balancer, make sure it's configured for session
affinity/sticky sessions. There is a large amount of per-user information stored
in the near-cache on each web application node. Without sessions being pinned to
a web application node, the cache churn would make performance unacceptable.
- On Oracle 11g, use the prepared statement cache to reduce database overhead.
- When using Oracle as an RDBMS, the OCI driver should be used as opposed to
the “thin” JDBC Type4 driver. Using the OCI driver will require installation
of Oracle native binaries compatible with the operating system hosting the
Jive installation.
