On November 2, we rolled back the November 1 update because it introduced errors that we are still investigating.
However, we kept or re-implemented the following configuration changes:
- Changed JDK version: We changed from JDK1.6 to JDK1.5 for better compatibility with the caching engine used by the community platform.
- Increased Heap & Cache Sizes: We increased the Tomcat heap size and the community platform's message cache size for better message throughput.
- Database Connections: We increased the number of database connections by 50% because peak traffic occasionally maxed the number of database connections.
- APIC Setting: We disabled a power management setting that was causing timer-related problems.
Next week, we will work to re-implement the usability features we rolled back, including the AuthFactory fix that will remove one class of issues resulting in system slowdowns.
