ofbiz on windows anyone?

[Si Chen-2]

Hi.

Is anyone using ofbiz on windows?  We're seeing bursts of CPU usage  
of 100%, which we don't really see on Linux, and the server has a  
decent amount of memory (1 GB), and there's not a lot of special  
activity going on in ofbiz.  Is there something special about windows?

Best Regards,

Si

There are a lot of "special" things in Windows... ;)

What version of JDK are you using... we saw very poor performance regardless,
and while Java5 did work, it seemed as if 1.4.2 worked better.
"ant run-install" took about 30 minutes using Derby DBMS. However attaching to
PostgreSQL or MySQL dbms's are closer in line with times with *nix.

Open the task manager. See what is taking up the CPU time.
The threading in NT (windows) is not friendly to Java.
I find it spikes mostly when it is reading in the xml files before they
are cached.

Hi Si,

Most of the time I'm using OBFiz in Windows without any problem at all. My machine has also 1 GB. I'm able to use Eclipse and 2
instances of OFBIz. I can't see 100% of CPU usage because my proc is a Pentium HT (HyperThreading) so on Windows the max is 50%
(LOL) but it's running well ... for development ;o)

PS : I have tried to say to Windows that I have only one CPU (can't remember the name of the parameter). But it seems better to keep
HT working : better threads handling.

A very good tool I use for that is : http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html
