Verify that the TCP/IP settings on all Windows servers in the FileNet® Image Services and Content Platform Engine systems are
configured for optimal system performance.
About this task
The following TCP/IP settings affect the performance of content federation. Unless these
parameters are set differently for other system reasons, adjust these parameter settings for optimal
performance of the content federation system.
- The MaxUserPort parameter determines the number of temporary ports that
can be assigned on the server. These temporary ports are assigned by the server IP stack from a
designated range of ports for this purpose. When network traffic is busy, it is possible to run out
of temporary ports unless you increase the MaxUserPort setting.
- The TcpTimedWaitDelay parameter determines the length of time the server
waits before it reuses a closed ID socket. Although the default value is typically around 240
seconds (4 minutes), this parameter can safely be reduced to as little as 30 seconds on high-speed
networks.
- The TcpNumConnections parameter limits the maximum number of connections
that TCP can have open simultaneously. If this parameter is not defined, the default value of
6,777,214 (0xFFFFFE) TCP connections is used.
Procedure
To verify the TCP/IP parameter settings:
- At the command prompt, enter the REGEDIT command to open the Windows registry editor.
- Click .
- If the MaxUserPort parameter does not exist or is set to a value other
than 65534 (decimal) or FFFE (hex), complete the following steps:
- If the parameter does not exist, create a new DWORD value with the name
MaxUserPort.
- Set the value to 65534 (decimal) or FFFE (hex).
- If the TcpTimedWaitDelay parameter does not exist or is set to a value
other than 30 seconds (decimal) or 1E (hex), complete the following steps:
- If the parameter does not exist, create a new DWORD value with the name
TcpTimedWaitDelay .
- Set the value to 30 seconds (decimal) or 1E (hex).
- If the TcpNumConnections parameter exists, delete the parameter to set
it to the default value.
- Close the Registry Editor window.
Restart the server to put the new settings into effect.
