Hi All,
This thread is to share my experience on last week we arranged an campaign with few customers and partners on AX 2012/AX2012R2 Performance based issues.
We got most of the feedback's from the customers and partners regarding this performance kind of issues in general.
Eventhough they are well equiped with good number of system resources.
I have suggested the following things in the campaign:-
1. Run the Maintenance plans in SQL server regularly which includes the following tasks:-
a.) Database Integrity check
b.) Close Inactive Sessions
c.) History cleanup
d.) Notify operator about the task success/failure
e.) Update Statistics
f.) Execute T-sql statement to check pending jobs
g.) Backup databases
h.) Analyze database growth percentage
i.) SQL server memory utilization
j.) Evaluate SQL Server Disk Activity
k.) Track the database page performances
l.) Shrinking database log file alone not the data file.
m.) Performing Index defragmentation, Missing Indexes and Unused indexes
n.) Rebuild/Reorganize Index
o.) Configuring SQL database auto growth and auto shrink
2. To Clear the AX index files and AX cache files periodically
3. Setting SQL Max Degree parallelism with proper values
4. Disable the hyper threading in the BIOS settings
5. Build AOS load balancing and clustering
6. Processing the AX application automatic shutdown, when it’s idle for some* minutes
7. Tracking the AOS server memory utilization
8. Run the Batch servers at off-time
9. Disabling debugging action in production server
10.Update the Kernel and Application version regularly
11. Checking the counter performances
12. Regular maintenance on Disk Defragmentation and Disk Cleanup activities
13. Setting of threshold for disk usage, Memory usage and trigger alerts
14. Clearing the old registry,dump memories and monitoring the event viewer for errors and warnings regularly
Apart from the above fine tuning is there anything else added up to this, please kindly walkthrough from here so that all the painfull customers and partners will get a benefits and big relief from the performance issue.By this we can improve the AX brand name as well.
Regarding the Performance Optimization experts can lead a major role to this thread.
Any timely help will be really appreciated.
