Tools / services which affect app server stability and performance

JSF "stuck threads" issue:

SQL Optimization

Table and index structure

Slow DB queries

  • SAK-10193: Permissions checks slow in sites with large membership

Volume of database queries

  • SAK-11636: HTTP Basic operations create a login event for each request and refreshes authzgroups
  • SAK-9862: Excessive db queries generated from permissions updates in sites with provided users.
  • SAK-10859: Reduce number of CM queries required when user logs in (hibernate impl)

Completed issues

  • SAK-9860: Excessive db queries generated from Site Info / user service. Site Info generates 5 db queries for every site member (1 to SAKAI_USER and 4 to SAKAI_USER_ID_MAP).
  • SAK-9887: Excessive db queries for dropbox on site update actions
  • SAK-8780: The table structure of SAKAI_SESSION forces the db (at least mysql) to do a full table scan to find out which sessions are currently open.
  • SAK-13021: Section Info: Overview page generates too many queries leading to performance issues
