Hi,
Is there any documentation in regards to Performance tuning IIS with Laserfiche Forms
Cheers
Chris
Hi Chris,
The biggest affect I've seen is application pool timeouts.
If forms isn't being used for 20 minutes, by default, IIS will shut down the application. The next person who requests the site, will have to wait for the entire application and assemblies to load.
I disabled the timeout by setting it to 0. (It will still shutdown after a refresh which is set to something like 1740 minutes by default).
Curious to hear what others have done.
Regards,
Carl
I ran into this helpful article when looking into IIS configuration a while ago.
Carl, you'll probably still want to recycle your app pool on a schedule and on high memory usage conditions. I'm not saying this is an issue in Forms (or Web Access for that matter), but I have seen it with other applications where the memory usage goes up rapidly and then the application slows down or the worker process crashes. IIS restarts it automatically, but if it crashes repeatedly within a given period of time, IIS won't start the app pool again (it will have to be manually started). This is in the "Rapid Fail Protection" section in the app pool settings, I think the default is 5 failures in 5 minutes. You could restart it once a day when users are least likely to be logged in.
Right, I should have been more clear. I changed the recycle to a nightly schedule.
Thanks for the tip list Miruna!
Thank you for the recommendations :)
