Initialization Parameters for Oracle 11g
2.9.1.1 MaxClientsThreadsPerChild
The MaxClients property specifies a limit on the total number of server threads running, that is, a limit on the number of clients who can simultaneously connect. If the number of client connections reaches this limit, then subsequent requests are queued in the TCPIP system up to the limit specified in the ListenBackLog directive. You can configure the MaxClients directive in the httpd.conf file up to a maximum of 8K the default value is 150. If your system is not resource-saturated and you have a user population of more than 150 concurrent HTTP connections, you can improve your performance by increasing MaxClients to increase server concurrency. Increase MaxClients until your system becomes fully utilized 85 is a good threshold. When system resources are saturated, increasing MaxClients does not improve performance. In this case, the MaxClients value could be reduced as a throttle on the number of concurrent requests on the server. If the server handles persistent connections, then it may require sufficient concurrent httpd server processes to handle both active and idle connections. When you specify MaxClients to act as a throttle for system concurrency, you need to consider that persistent idle httpd connections also consume httpd processes. Specifically, the number of connections includes the currently active persistent and non-persistent connections and the idle persistent connections. When there are no httpd server threads available, connection requests are queued in the TCPIP system until a thread becomes available, and eventually clients terminate connections. You can define a number of server processes and the threads per process ThreadsPerChild to handle the incoming connections to Oracle HTTP Server. The ThreadsPerChild property specifies the upper limit on the number of threads that can be created under a server child process. Note: The MaxClients parameter is applicable only to UNIX platforms and on Microsoft Windows mpm_winnt, the same is achieved through the ThreadsPerChild and ThreadLimit parameters. Note: ThreadsPerChild, StartServers, and ServerLimit properties are inter-related with the MaxClients setting. All of these properties must be set appropriately to achieve the number of connections as specified by MaxClients. See Table 5–1, Oracle HTTP Server Configuration Properties for a description of all the HTTP configuration properties. 2-14 Oracle Fusion Middleware Performance and Tuning Guide2.9.1.2 KeepAlive
A persistent, KeepAlive, HTTP connection consumes an httpd child process, or thread, for the duration of the connection, even if no requests are currently being processed for the connection. If you have sufficient capacity, KeepAlive should be enabled; using persistent connections improves performance and prevents wasting CPU resources re-establishing HTTP connections. Normally, you should not need to change KeepAlive parameters.2.9.1.3 Tuning MOD_WL_OHS
The Oracle HTTP Server OHS uses the mod_wl_ohs module to route requests to the underlying Weblogic server or the Weblogic Server cluster. The configuration details for mod_wl_ohs are available in the mod_wl_ohs.conf file in the config directory. For more information on the tuning parameters for mod_wl_ohs see, Understanding Oracle HTTP Server Modules in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrators Guide for Oracle HTTP Server.2.9.2 Setting the Maximum Number of Connections for Data Sources
For applications that use a database, performance can improve when the connection pool associated with a data source limits the number of connections. You can use the MaxCapacity attribute to limit the database requests from Oracle Application Server so that incoming requests do not saturate the database, or to limit the database requests so that the database access does not overload the Oracle Application Server-tier resource. The connection pool MaxCapacity attribute specifies the maximum number of connections that a connection pool allows. By default, the value of MaxCapacity is set to 15. For best performance, you should specify a value for MaxCapacity that matches the number appropriate to your database performance characteristics. Limiting the total number of open database connections to a number your database can handle is an important tuning consideration. You should check to make sure that your database is configured to allow at least as large a number of open connections as the total of the values specified for all the data sources MaxCapacity option, as specified in all the applications that access the database. Note: The default maximum requests for a persistent connection is 100, as specified with the MaxKeepAliveRequests directive in httpd.conf. By default, the server waits for 15 seconds between requests from a client before closing a connection, as specified with the KeepAliveTimeout directive in httpd.conf.
