Checking Performances

You can launch a performance checker to evaluate the performance of the 3DEXPERIENCE client-server interaction.

This tools calculates the time needed for basic scenarios and generates the results in a .csv file. The performance checker performs the following actions:

  • Login
  • Query the root Product (either DS-PerformanceChecker- BTree or DS-PerformanceChecker- Flat-tree_constraints)
  • Explore the Root
  • Expand All
  • Open (empty cache)
  • Close the editor
  • Open (cache filled)
  • Edit Properties on the root Product, modify a value of any attribute, save
  • Logout

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin:
  • Make sure that 3D XML data are in the performance checker. Import the 3D XML in the desired customization. You can find them in {3DEXPERIENCE_installation_directory}\{OSname}\startup\PerformanceChecker.
  • To capture relevant measures for the baseline performance, the tool must be executed alone on the server to avoid any disturbance.

Check Performances in Interactive Mode

  1. Open a Command Prompt window.
  2. Go to the following folder: C:\enoviaV6R2014xcode\win_b64\code\bin
  3. To launch the tool interactively, enter the following command:

    catstart -env CATIA.V6R2014.B215 -direnv E:\CATEnv -run "PerformanceChecker.exe"

  4. Log on with your V6 user.
    The performance checker appears.
  5. Click Run Test.
    The different tests are launched and a progress bar appears.
  6. When the tests are done, select the directory where you want to save the .csv file with the results.

The results of the performance checker are saved.

Note: The .csv file contains the elapsed time for each step, in milliseconds.

Check Performances in Batch Mode

The PerformanceChecker batch takes the following options: -batch <result.csv path><user><password><role><host><port><uri><loginticket><protocol>

To launch the performance checker through a batch, enter the following command:

catstart -env CATIA.V6R2014.B215 -direnv E:\CATEnv -run "PerformanceChecker.exe -batch -output C:\results.csv -user User1 -pwd Pwd1 -role VPMLeader.MyCompany.Standard -host Ve4al124dsy -port 8090 -uri enovia -protocol http -ticket MjU0ODg4MzYxMDU0NDFCM0E5OUY4MzdENkJERkExMzV8V1ZNfFdWTXx8fDB8"

The different tests are launched. When the tests are done, the .csv file with the results is saved in the .csv file specified in the -output option.

Notes:
  • The -batch option allows you to replay the performance checker automatically every n minutes.
  • The .csv file contains the elapsed time for each step, in milliseconds.
