Configuring FlexiCapture input and output
Frequently, the bottleneck that limits performance of the system is the input (import) or the output (export).
Below are the two ways to increase performance in bottlenecks of FlexiCapture:
1. If it is assumed that a large number of Processing Stations will simultaneously import files from a hot folder or export
files to file system, then the hot folder and/or the export target must be located on the computer with the server edition
of the operating system. Normally, client operating systems support a limited number of connections which may lead to
error in import/export tasks.
2. If a hot folder is assumed to be processed at several Processing Stations, then bandwidth to the hot folder will be divided
between the Processing Stations which may lead to bandwidth shortage. In this case, it is recommended to use multiple
independent hot folders. If export to files is performed, it is recommended that export target should not be on the same
computer with the hot folders
Using performance counters
To monitor FlexiCapture state and search for bottlenecks, the Performance Monitor utility can be used.
FlexiCapture counters
FlexiCapture own counters are located in the category FlexiCapture.
Values of the counters are recorded by the Processing Server, so the counters are available in the computer where this server is
installed.
As the Processing Server is a 32-bit application, the Performance Monitor utility must be run in 32-bit mode when used in 64-bit
computers. For this, enter the following command in the command line (cmd.exe):
mmc /32 perfmon.msc
By default, recording counters by the Processing Server is disabled. To enable counters recording, perform the following actions:
1. Start the Processing Server console. For this, on the computer where the service of the Processing Server is started, exe-
cute the following command in the command line (cmd.exe):
FlexiBRSvc.exe please obey
2. Set the value of the server parameter PerformanceCounting to true. For this, execute the command:
set PerformanceCounting=true
