Do you have a component that is running slowly?

If a particular component or the system in general is running slowly, complete the following steps.

  1. Check whether you have inadvertently left tracing on. This could be WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker user tracing or service tracing, ODBC tracing, WebSphere MQ tracing, or native database tracing. If you have, turn the tracing off.
  2. Clear out any old abend files from your errors directory. If you do not clear it of unwanted files you might find that your system performance degrades due to significant space being used up.
  3. On Windows, use the workpath -w flag of the mqsicreatebroker command to create the errors directory in a hard drive partition that does not contain WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker or Windows.
  4. Increase your system memory.
