Modern business systems are typically capable of providing sufficient resources to the SmartServer process. Some features or business operating systems will require more processing power than others. If the StayLinked Server does not get access to processing in a timely manner, it can cause delayed transactions or even process failures. All SmartServer installations should be allocated an absolute minimum of two dedicated CPU cores in order to ensure adequate CPU for Java Garbage Collection. Insufficient memory or processor time can result in the unusual growth of the JVM Heap, possibly exceeding the upper memory limit and causing issues or failure of the SmartServer process. Most host operating systems offer some diagnostic features allowing visibility of CPU usage for each server process. Monitoring these values during peak usage can give an indication of the CPU requirements of the SmartServer process.
Be sure to follow any best practices or recommendations provided by your Virtualization Software Provider, particularly maximum CPU utilization.
