How Performance Tuning WorksSmallworld is one of the world’s most powerful GIS and asset management systems. It’s also one of the most complex. Depending on how long your system has been in place and how many add-on applications have been implemented, it may or may not be delivering the performance it had when it was first installed.

Our Performance Tuning offering covers a wide range of elements that can improve the performance of your Smallworld system, including:

• Map redraw - Improving the redraw function can significantly increase productivity and ease of use.
• Insert and update of objects - Inefficient triggers, data model issues and network problems all affect speed and functionality.
• Database queries- Slow database queries are often the result of index definitions.
• Plotting - We review plotting performance and make recommendations for improvement where appropriate.
• Merge and post - Issues with merging and posting of data can affect the system. A common solution is a batch merge and post engine.
• Administrative operations - We review the performance of administrative operations and find areas for improvement.
• Network architecture and performance - We review your network configuration and also conduct tests on the network to identify any performance bottlenecks.
• Hardware configuration - Hardware configurations may be slowing the system, so we’ll look at CPU utilization, memory usage, and other factors.
• Data model - We analyze index settings on your data model to identify potential problem areas.
• Styles and visibility settings - Problems identified by the redraw analyzer can usually be improved by changing styles and visibility settings.
• Short transaction contention - Some applications use VMDS in a “short transaction,” which can be a source of performance problems.
• Cache performance - Performance of in memory and persistent cache will be monitored by our tools, and we will recommend changes if necessary.
• Client application memory parameters - We review your client memory parameters and recommend changes if necessary.
