Performance Problem
Posted in 2000
I have the configuration below running on HP-UX B.11.00 U 9000/800.on
L100 class which is 64bit machine.
I have run update statistics but nothing significantly has improved.
Also my backup takes long. Checkpoints are as low as 8 seconds and I
have more than 200 users working on line. What changes would you
recommend that I should do to this configuration to improve speed.
users are now on my neck.
