Increasing Netscape Application Server resources can increase the performance of the applications running on the server and reduce the likelihood of application downtime, thereby increasing fault tolerance. You can perform the following procedures to increase fault tolerance and server resources:
Deciding to increase server resources must take into account the resources of the system on which the Netscape Application Server is running. If the system is not capable of handling additional processes, adding more negatively affects the performance of an application. Likewise, assigning additional threads to a process removes available threads from the system-wide thread pool, limiting the system's ability to process other thread-utilizing requests, such as for database access. For more information about administering processes, see "About Adding and Tuning Java Server and C++ Server Processes."
In addition, increasing the number of times the Administrative Server attempts to restart a downed process to an excessively high number, such as greater than 30, can over-use system resources. For information about setting the number of times the Administrative Server attempts to restart a process, see "Adjusting the Restart Option of the Administrative Server."
