Performance Tuning Tips

If you are experiencing performance problems with your Unanet application, make sure you've considered the topics detailed below.

Migrate to the most recent version of Unanet --

Unanet 3.4 -- This version of Unanet included a number of enhancements specifically geared towards improved performance including:
- Overall Una$ense speed, and in particular 'wizard' performance;
- Quicker timesheet preview displays to speed up the Approval Process;
- Faster display of people records
- Automatic self approvals to further reduce the approval process cycle;
- List display enhancements for faster list/report generation (e.g. Person list and Project list);
- Unanet Imports included performance improvements as well
JDBC Driver -- For customer's using the MS SQL Server platform, an updated JDBC driver (version 1.30) is currently available. This version of the driver has produced noticeable performance improvements especially when your platform configuration includes a database server and web server that reside on separate machine.

JRun Tuning -- A number of our customers that use the JRun servlet engine/webserver have experienced improved performance by tuning a number JRun performance parameters. More information about JRun Tuning Guidelines can be found in our online Unanet documentation under JRun Setup.

Java Runtime Environment -- Depending on your servlet engine's compatibility with the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), it would be best to upgrade your system to the latest java version available, which is currently version 1.3.1_03. This version is required for a number of Unanet features beginning with Unanet version 3.4 and also contains a number of performance improvements as well.
