Performance Best Practices
The purpose of this guide is to help the system administrator to maximize the performance of SAP
NetWeaver Portal.
1. Portal Setup - Identifying the Components
To identify problematic areas, the entire system landscape should be reviewed. For each of the
components the compatibility must be verified.
For each of these components the performance measures of CPU, memory, and connectivity (Network
roundtrips and throughput) should be considered.
Server – layered view
1. SAP NetWeaver
Portal
is a web container extension – and this guide deals with this
layer only.
2. It runs on top of SAP
Application Server Java
.
3. AS Java runs inside a
SAP JVM
.
4. Web gateway is provided by SAP
Internet Communication Manager (ICM)
.
For improving server performance these four layers should be considered
Recommended tools:
 Diagnostics server (root cause analysis) is provided with SAP Solution Manager. See SAP
Note 797147: http://service.sap.com/diagnostics
 SAP JVM Monitoring tools and SAP JVM Tools
 SAPJVM Profiler
SDN Link
 Java Memory Analyzer Tool:
SAP Help MAT Project
 Java Thread Dump Analyzer is included with Memory Analyzer Tool
MAT Project
Persistency layer – In the portal this is the database layer.
 The portal uses a few tables in the AS Java scheme.
 Recommended tools: NWA:
Using Open SQL Monitors

Client

Client side measurements are based upon:
1. measuring Client OS browser process resources (such as process memory and
CPU times)
2. Measuring network KPIs (such as round trips , data size, browser caching)

 A list of browsers compatible with SAP NetWeaverPortal can be found in the SAP PAM
available at:
Web Browser Dependencies
SAP NetWeaver Portal uses the browser cache to improve performance. It is strongly
recommended to enable full functionality of the browser cache for the end users.
Recommended tools:
 OS utilities to measure process resources
 HTTP sniffers, HTTPWatch
 Browser specific tools, such as IE8 developer tools and Firefox Firebug
Network
 Network architecture may consist of various topologies and the relevant expertise is
required for correct network planning.
When investigating performance overhead, the common approach is eliminating
network overheads by configuration or during analysis.
Using HTTP GZip compression is recommended for data sizes over 1kb.
 Recommended tools: Sniffer
Backend application server
 Back-end application server performance issues should be treated using the specific
back-end practices.
 Back-end connectivity to the portal or to a client browser must be verified.
 An external user repository (such as LDAP) can be considered as a back end.
Recommended tools:
 Back-end specific monitoring utilities -
ABAP Workload monitor
 SAP NetWeaver Administrator -
NWA Monitoring
(tools & logs)

2. Tuning flow - Verifying Performance
When applying a new portal system, there are a few practices that should be taken care of.The
following paragraphs describe the procedures that may be used for tuning your portal server.
1. Sizing – SAP offers a methodology to anticipate the required amounts of hardware resources
while planning the new landscape.
The sizing procedure is based on initial measurements, which are done at SAP, and represent
certain content types. By calculating the number of concurrent items the implementation team
can tell how much hardware is required to have the desired total throughput.
For more information on sizing, go to
http://service.sap.com/sizing
.
2. Fine tuning – After initial setup is complete, the SAP NetWeaver system can be fine tuned to
best fit customer requirements and limitations.
Fine tuning notes:
o
Note 1248926 - AS Java VM Parameters for NetWeaver 7.1 based products
Using zero admin templates eliminates most of the VM tuning arguments.
o
Note 1551721 - Performance Tuning of Enterprise Portal 7.30
– This is the central note
for maintaining ongoing updates, such as for NW 7.3 SP03. Follow the explanations in
SAP Note 1539331.
At this time, it is recommended to verify the stability and scalability over a simple content
scenario.
3. Volume test optimization – SAP provides guidance for tuning various components to run in the
best manner. For more information, review
http://service.sap.com/diagnostics
.
During and at the end of the tuning phase, we recommend running stability and scalability tests
over a rich content scenario.

3. Tuning the portal
SAP JVM

Configuration
and Setup of SAP JVM
Tuning the Applicatioin Server

Configuring JVM parameters
on AS Java
o Set <-XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=1000> (from default 1)
 Avoiding session leaks -
Tracing Single User Sessions

Tuning
HTTP Provider Service

Enabling production mode
UME Cache

Optimizing Performance With the UME Cache
PCD Cache tuning
The PCD uses a transient cache for all objects which are loaded from the database persistence. This
cache is designed to be memory sensitive – meaning that frequently used objects, those that are
currently in use by client applications or likely to be used soon again, are kept in cache as long as there
is enough memory.
 Read more and implement using
Note 905211 - PCD Cache Optimizer Tuning
 PCD administration reference for 7.30
Configuring PCD Properties
The following defaults are set for Portal 7.30:
 Pcd.Xfs.Cache.StartCacheOptimizer = false
 Pcd.Xfs.Cache.HardReferenceLimit = 1000

Navigation service
To improve performance, the portal caches each set of navigation nodes required by a user. If a user
accesses a navigation hierarchy that was previously accessed, the portal can retrieve the navigation
hierarchy from the cache instead of generating it again.

Caching Navigation Nodes
Multiple locale configurations - Additional tuning is required:
 Configure the <defaultlocale> property with locales that should be added to the cache.
Open the
navigation service properties via NWA
and set the property
<portal.navigation.connector.cache.defaultLocales>. It should be configured as follows:
en_us,de_ch, etc....
 Additional Search Provider configuration tunings: Configure all the languages in the Roles Index
Provider – click on “Define Suggestion Languages”
Portal Runtime Cache

Configuring the Portal Runtime Properties
Activating and Clearing the Portal Runtime Cache
OBN Cache

Activating the OBN Cache

4. Analyzing Performance Problems
High-level steps for analyzing performance problems:
1. First identify the software components involved in the business scenario and the interaction
between them.
2. Locate the appropriate performance monitoring tools for the component.
3. Reproduce the problematic scenario and monitor the relevant metrics of every component
involved in the flow.
4. Analyze the results.
CPU
Verifying and improving CPU consumption

End to end root cause analysis diagnostics
Memory
