xCP Performance

Hi Experts,

I am about to finish my first project in a bank.But I am worried about the number of auto activities.The requirements of the customer were very difficult.All workflows are ad-hoc routing based but still there are too many operations performed on the cases while they move from one department to another.So there are about 10 auto activities in each process.This design pattern meets all of the requirements of the customer but it takes about more than 1 minute until a task moves from one user to another.The seravers are quite powerfull and we have 500 users.There will be a very big load on the method server.

So what is the average number of autoactivities in your workflows?

Can you please share some of your experiences, best practices, challenges etc.?

Please tell me something that will blow up my worries.

I would suggest you to estimate the number of running instances of your processes which would be generated and based on that decide how many instances of Method Server you want. You may use the system sizing tools to estimate the infrastructire. I am sure you would have done this before you started. But specifically for the Auto activities you still have time to add the Method server.

Sorry but this would not lower your worries but I have seen implementation rolled back from Prod for the performance issues and it has majorly been because of the Auto Activities.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your suggestions.I will follow and try to calculate the estimated load in the system.I know that the system sizing guide can help me to size the performance requirements but this people are working with paper and it is quite difficult to know how many documents and wf-s will be in the system.

Thanks
