• Confirm that the configuration property Campaign|partitions|partition [n]|
server| logging|loggingLevels is not set to ALL. This setting generates a large
amount of data and therefore is not advisable for production operation.
• Setting any logging level higher than its default can adversely affect performance.
• Examine the Unica Campaign log files to identify possible issues. For example,
look for warnings that occur repeatedly. There are log files for listeners, the web
application, web connections, flowcharts, sessions, and other areas of the application.
By default, most log files are in <Campaign_home>/logs and <Campaign_home>/
partitions/partition [n]/logs. If you have a clustered listener configuration,
additional log files are in the equivalent directories under <campaignSharedHome>.
For more information, read about logging administration in the Unica Campaign
Administrator's Guide.
Configuration
• Adjust the performance-related configuration settings as described in the Unica
Campaign Tuning Guide.
• Look at the configuration properties in the Campaign|caching category (for example,
offerTemplateDataTTLSeconds) to see how often the cache is refreshed. The default
value is 600 (10 minutes). Smaller values result in more frequent cache updates, which
can adversely affect performance by consuming processing resources on both the
web server and the database. Configuration properties are described in the Unica
Campaign Administrator's Guide.
Reports
If you have Cognos reports on your dashboards, be aware that reports require additional
processing resources. Performance can become an issue when many users access
dashboards that contain many reports on a regular basis. Cognos report portlets are the
most resource-intensive.
For improved performance, use Cognos to schedule reports, then configure the portlet in
Unica Platform so it uses the schedule. For more information, read about Cognos report
performance considerations in the Unica Platform Administrator's Guide.
