Performance

Sizing strategy for CLM 6.x

Performance test how-to material!

• Part 1: Creating a performance simulation for Rational Team Concert using Rational Performance Tester. Includes sample correlation rules.
• Part 2: Tuning Jazz systems to support performance testing.

The datasheets below are updated when performance testing shows a significant change. The 6.0 datasheets apply to the 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 releases. Note that there were major updates to the performance datasheets between the 5.x and 6.x releases.

• Collaborative Lifecycle Management performance report: RDNG 6.0
• Collaborative Lifecycle Management performance report: RQM 6.0
• Sizing and tuning guide for Rational DOORS Next Generation 6.0
• Collaborative Lifecycle Management performance report: Global configuration and link indexing
• Performance report for Rational Quality Manager 6.0: configuration management
• Upgrade performance for Rational DOORS Next Generation 6.0
• Best Practices for Configuring LQE For Performance and Scalability
• Configuring and tuning DNG

Performance testing validated that there were no regressions for RTC, RQM and RELM between the 5.0, 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 releases. For 5.0.2 performance information for RTC, RQM and RELM, see the 5.0 datasheets.

• Collaborative Lifecycle Management performance report: RDNG 5.0.2
• Plan Loading Performance Improvements in RTC 5.0.2
• Collaborative Lifecycle Management performance report: Data Collection Component Performance (DCC) 5.0.2 release
• Performance Tuning Guide for Data Collection Component on Oracle DB
• Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager (RELM) performance report 5.0.1
