Scale your database with your ProjectWise System!!!


Indications of a Slow Database

Slow folder navigation is the first signErrors in dmskrnl logs:

How can I check to see if my dba is doing his job?


How do I prove my dba wrong?




Key Points on Databases

Dedicated Database Server if possible

If the database is slow the users will be the first to complain

A powerful database is needed Lots of CPU and RAM Fast Disks

Follow Microsoft/Oracle Best Practices

Updating Statistics and Rebuilding Indexes regularly 1x a week for small firms 3xs a week for medium firms Every day for large firms


Network


Latency….


Bandwidth is like the lanes on a highway

Key Points on Networks

• ProjectWise will be effected by high latency

– >300ms latency and ProjectWise will suffer greatly

• High Bandwidth + Low Latency = Better ProjectWise Performance

• QOS (Quality of Service) is important for the network traffic

– Determines the priority of the ProjectWise traffic

• The better the connection the better ProjectWise will run.

• Directly connecting to a hosted solution may be better due to internet connectivity


Load Balancing


Load Balancing your Integration Servers

Storage on a SAN

Indexing/Thumbnails/File Props

Load Balancer

Indexing/Thumbnails/File Props


Automated File Processing Load Balancing


Key Points on Clustering

~500 concurrently connected users per Integration ServerIf over 50% of memory utilization add

another Integration Server Slower access will indicate this

Makes upgrades much easierKeeps your ProjectWise system up all

the timeIf your Indexing/Thumbnails/File

Properties are not keeping up Remember every time a document gets

checked out/in it gets marked for reprocessing

Fastest known processing time is ~251,000 in a 24 hour period!

Key Points on Caching to take to your Users

• If there are more then 5-10 users in an office, add a caching server– The first piece for increased

performance

– Use fetchfiles.exe to prepopulate the cache

• If the connection is slow in a remote office, think about putting a storage area there


Archiving


POW POW POWERSHELL!!!


Key Points on Archiving

• Only active work should be in your datasource

– Lean and mean

• Use PowerShell to archive old data– Can go to another datasource or disk

– Can modify the data when archived like no versions, read only, etc

– Able to run through a variety of ways

• Remove old projects that have been over for years


Backup/Recovery


Secondary

Mirroring your Environment

Primary


Automation of Tasks


Key Points on PowerShell

• Primarily meant for ProjectWise Administrators

– Most operations require an admin account

• Automate many administrative tasks– Reports

• Lots of cmdlets– 188

• New-PWInputOutputPerformanceReport

• Attend the SIG and workshops– SIG is 2nd Thursday of every month

• Go to Bentley Communities for help!
