linkTuner Overview
You Can’t Manage What You Can’t Measure
![Page 7: linkTuner Webinar - March 2013](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020306/54713ba4b4af9fb90a8b4aa9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• 2 customers were implementing PDMLink– 100+ Pro/E users at one customer– 200+ Pro/E users at the other– PTC didn’t have a tool to do it
• Customer Thoughts– How will the performance of 10.X or 9.X compare to 3.4 or 8.0?– Have we sized our hardware appropriately? – How will the system perform Day 1?– Is the system performance degrading over time?
• Customer wanted data to support reality– “I think PDMLink 10.1 is slower than 9.1”– “The system seems slower than a couple months ago”

Typical Tune/Test Options
• Do nothing …hope it works
• Use Internal Resources…time/resource consuming
• Use LoadRunner or Jmeter…need expertise, doesn’t use Pro/ENGINEER, can fill cache and eliminate the serv er side exercise
• Use PTC System Monitor (PSM)
• Use linkTuner
• Combination of the above
You Can’t Manage What You Can’t Measure

Solution: linkTuner
• Simulates Pro/E uses across your network
• Automates the benchmarking process
• Collects empirical data
• Runs against 3.4, 8.0, 9.X and 10.X
• Let’s you measure so you can manage

• Server console coordinates task lists for CAD agents
• Can run the following checks: – Search/Info/Browse– Revise– Download/Open– Upload/Check-in– Promote– Delete Revision
How linkTuner Works
• Insures unique items are loaded to avoid object caching to enhance effectiveness.
• Can run either a fixed list of objects, or for a fi xed length of time.
