Tuning messaging engines

Use this task to set tuning properties for the service integration environment.

About this task

The service integration environment includes properties that you can set to improve the performance of a messaging engine or the component of the messaging engine that manages the data store. These properties are known collectively as tuning properties. You can set these properties either with the WebSphere® Application Server administrative console or by editing the sib.properties file.

Tip: Properties set with the administrative console take precedence over properties set in the sib.properties file.

Procedure

Set the tuning properties by using the administrative console:
- Set the tuning properties of a messaging engine.
- Control the memory buffers used by a messaging engine.
Use the administrative console to tune the data source.
Set the tuning properties for the messaging engine components by editing the sib.properties file.
Enable the IBM_CLUSTER_ENABLE_ACS_DELAY_POSTING property to improve the performance of large messaging engine topologies. Set the value of the property to true to delay the updates being published. For more information about the property, see the cell custom properties.
