Scaling

Workload scaling enhances application performance and resource efficiency in dynamic environments. Scaling ensures that applications can handle varying workloads without performance degradation. OpenText provides the ability to automatically scale resources up or down based on real-time metrics, allowing organizations to respond quickly to changes in traffic. This elasticity not only improves user experience but also optimizes resource utilization, helping to minimize costs associated with underused or overprovisioned resources.

You cam manage compute to your database to improve the performance of complex analytic queries that have been running for a long time. Adding compute helps these queries run faster.

Configure the compute of your database to suit your query requirements and workload performance needs.

To manage compute for your database:

1. In the Settings Overview page, select Scaling.
2. Select View Scaling. The horizontal database scaling options are displayed. You can scale the database either manually or automatically. Do one of the following: a. To manually scale the database, select Manual. b. Slide across the slider horizontally to scale the database depending on the size - small, small-medium, medium, medium-large, or large. c. Select Apply changes. d. In the View scaling log area, click the Audit log and Scaling log tabs to view the log details. <-Or-> a. To automatically scale the database, select Auto. Select this option only if you need to automatically scale the database based on defined parameters. b. From the Scale up to drop-down list, select either Large or Medium depending on the size of your database.

   Note

      Define the maximum compute beyond which the system cannot add anything and balance the loads automatically.
   

   c. Use the CPU usage toggle button to scale out the database when the CPU usage exceeds a value in the range 1% to 100%. d. Use the Memory usage toggle button to scale out the database when the memory usage exceeeds a value in the range 1% to 100%.

   Note

     When you apply both CPU usage and Memory usage, the system adds additional compute when either of the thresholds are reached.
