Performance Considerations
FlowPort server performance can be affected by software
running on the same host system. This section provides
information that maximizes FlowPort server performance.
Server Ports
You can install FlowPort and repository software on the
same system; however, this will increase contention for
the
CPU. FlowPort operates its own Web server and
therefore requires a dedicated
HTTP port such as port 80
(recommended). The repository HTTP port should be
configured with a different value, such as port 90.
Web Browser
To improve performance when using Netscape Navigator
on the same machine as the FlowPort server, you must set
Navigator's priority to Low:
1
Right-click the Windows NT taskbar and click Task
Manager.
2
Right-click netscape.exe.
3
Point to Set Priority and then click Low.
