For p4d 2011.1 thru 2015.1, set rpl.compress=3. For p4d 2015.2+, set rpl.compress=4. A value of 4, new in P4D 2015.2, compresses journal data only, which is almost always advantageous as it compresses well, while avoiding compression of archive data, which is a mixed bag in terms of performance benefits, and potentially a net netagive. #review @scommon |

Replaced the big license comment block with a shortened form referencing the LICENSE file included with the SDP package, and also by the URL for the license file in The Workshop. |
||
#5 | 15552 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Removed net.maxwait setting. Considerations: * Our KB Article says not to set it: http://answers.perforce.com/articles/KB/3751 * The value of 600 (10 mintues) was too low, and was observed to break replication. * This was originally thought to be a server-side 'zombie process' defense, but it has undesirable side-effects. #review-15553 |
||
#4 | 12029 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Clarified appropriate P4D version string checks in *.sh version, and made cosmetic tweaks to *.sh and *.bat versions. |
||
#3 | 12026 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Updated a few configurables, including net.maxwait that may help prevent P4EXP from building up idle prococesses on p4d. |
||
#2 | 11408 | C. Thomas Tyler |
Added recommended SDP setting setting of db.reorg.disable=1. It is commented out by default, with a comment indicating that the db.reorg.disable configurable should be considered when databases are stored on solid state storage, as it results in performance improvement for some (but not all) solid state storage devices. #review-11175 @michael_shields Updated from first shelve for review: * Changed version from 2014.2 to 2013.2. * Fixed grammatical error in comment. * Corrected comment style to Windows for *.bat file ('#' --> '::'). Updated from second shelve for review: * Updated comments above and in the code based on feedback, especially that the performance improvement is not universal on all solid state devices. |
