Re: JDBC performance issues after moving to Java 8

The utility Charles pointed me to is not showing a DNS issue. what we are
seeing is that the program sits in TIMA status most of the time, and
periodically shifts over to RUN just long enough so that if we sit
WRKACTJOB and repeatedly press F5 it will go to RUN and immediately back to
TIMA every once in a while. Another thing we are seeing is that there are
generally three Mutexes out there for the job, but once again if we
repeatedly refresh the screen, that periodically will drop down to 1, and
immediately back to three.

I can't answer the changes to Java question, Tim would have to respond to
that. My situation is experiential. Assuming Networking (as Tim pointed
out) is not the issue, we've found some applications do run better in the
64bit version.

Paging is clearly not an issue on your system.

I'm not sure it's an issue with the pool it's in, we have 10Gb in *BASE,
and
42Gb in *INTERACT, and very low paging and faulting (0 in *MACHINE pool, 10
in *BASE, 6 in *INTERACT) those are total numbers between DB and Non-DB.

I have thought about using 64bit. We aren't running out of memory though
that I am aware of, and I was under the impression that using the 64bit JVM
is less performant unless you need it. Have changes been made to Java to
invalidate that?

Consider moving to the 64bit version. I've had some success with
improvements that way. Depending on how memory intensive the
application is you might have to add memory to the shared memory pool
where it's running.

Which brings up another point, you should be moving these processes
into a shared memory pool and getting them out if *BASE.

Subject: JDBC performance issues after moving to Java 8

We have a Java application running on IBM i v7.1. It was working fine
with Java 6, but when we moved to Java 8 in preparation for an upgrade
to v7.3, the program started taking over an hour to run. As far as I
know, the only change was to move to Java 8. We are using the 32 bit
JVM for both Java 6 and Java 8.

Any ideas on where to look for issues? We are not getting any errors
that I know of, and everything is running through properly. It just
takes over an hour for the program to run now when it used to take
minutes. The application is using JDBC to communicate with a MS SQL
Server. It is basically synchronizing data for another process that runs

on Windows.
