Performance Tuning in OFMW SOA Suite

A. SOA Component Level
a. BPEL/BPMN Engine Level
i. Concurrency
1. # of Threads to process invocation messages (dspInvokeThreads)
2. # of Threads to process engine messages (dspEngineThreads)
3. # of Threads to process system messages dspSystem Threads
ii. Memory/DB
1. Audit Trail logging levels (AuditLevel)
2. Message Persistence (oneWayDeliveryPolicy)
iii. CPU
1. XML Validations (validateXML)
2. Statistics for most recently processed requests (statsLastN)
b. BPEL/BPMN Process Level
i. Response Time:
1. Parallel processing of invole in multiple branches (nonBlockingInvoke)
2. Synchronous / Transient process design
ii. Database
