BizTalk Server 2009: Performance Tuning

Manoj AgarwalSenior Development LeadBizTalk Server Product TeamMicrosoft India Development Center

Objectives

Techniques for optimizing the infrastructure of the BizTalk Server SystemHow to increase the throughput and reduce the latency of the systemHow to maximizing return on invested hardware and software capital

Performance Tuning

No Silver BulletTesting -> Tuning -> Testing

Bottom-up methodology

•Hardware

•Windows

•Network Infrastructure

•SQL Server

•BizTalk Server Databases

•BizTalk Server Applications

Hardware Platform Tuning

Apply BIOS, Firmware and Driver updatesTurn off Hyperthreading

Windows Tuning

Configure Serverfor High network throughput and parallelismto favor background services

Disk optimizationDefragment DisksUse stripe sets

File systemDisable creation of short namesLimit the use of file compression or encryption

Windows Tuning Contd…

Anti-virus SoftwareDisable real-time scanning of

SQL Server filesNon-exe file types in BizTalk file-drop locations

Disable network scanning between BizTalk Server and SQL Server

Network Infrastructure Tuning

Buffering (prevent network congestion)Offloading (remove processing from host CPUs)Parallelism (subnets)

Bottom-up methodology

Network Infrastructure

•SQL Server

•BizTalk Server Databases

•BizTalk Server Applications

SQL Server Tuning

Pre-allocation and ParallelismIsolate transaction and data log filesSplit TempDB files across multiple filesTurn on T1118 trace flag

BizTalk Database Tuning

Isolate MessageBox with tracking databaseAvoid primary messagebox bottleneckSet MAXDOP to zero on non-messagebox database serversVerify the BizTalk Server SQL Agent Jobs are runningConfigure Purging and Archiving of Tracking Data

BizTalk Application Tuning

Message SizeBAM EventStream APISHost configurationOrchestrations

Message Size

Large message fragment sizeImpact on the

number of transactionsAvailable memoryTransaction timeoutSQL Locks

Host Configuration

Separation of functionalityProvides Scalability

Dedicated tracking hostDisable tracking when not requiredMaxReceiveInterval value in the adm_ServiceClass tableDo not cluster hosts unless absolutely necessary

Orchestrations

Use XMLReader instead XMLDocumentUse distinguished fieldsPersistence pointsUse Appropriate .NET classes

Helpers and ServicesEntities and Business Objects

Call Vs Start orchestration shapeImpact of correlated messages on throttling
