linkTuner Overview

You Can’t Manage What You Can’t Measure

• 2 customers were implementing PDMLink– 100+ Pro/E users at one customer– 200+ Pro/E users at the other– PTC didn’t have a tool to do it

• Customer Thoughts– How will the performance of 10.X or 9.X compare to 3.4 or 8.0?– Have we sized our hardware appropriately? – How will the system perform Day 1?– Is the system performance degrading over time?

• Customer wanted data to support reality– “I think PDMLink 10.1 is slower than 9.1”– “The system seems slower than a couple months ago”

linkTuner

• Background

Typical Tune/Test Options

• Do nothing …hope it works

• Use Internal Resources…time/resource consuming

• Use LoadRunner or Jmeter…need expertise, doesn’t use Pro/ENGINEER, can fill cache and eliminate the serv er side exercise

• Use PTC System Monitor (PSM)

• Use linkTuner

• Combination of the above

Solution: linkTuner

• Simulates Pro/E uses across your network

• Automates the benchmarking process

• Collects empirical data

• Runs against 3.4, 8.0, 9.X and 10.X

• Let’s you measure so you can manage

• Server console coordinates task lists for CAD agents

• Can run the following checks: – Search/Info/Browse– Revise– Download/Open– Upload/Check-in– Promote– Delete Revision

How linkTuner Works

• Insures unique items are loaded to avoid object caching to enhance effectiveness.

• Can run either a fixed list of objects, or for a fi xed length of time.
