Configuration & Performance of the Automation Engine

This document informs about performance optimization settings and general requirements for using the Automation Engine.

Hardware

Your Server computer is the core part of AE and data-center automation. Using adequate performance and security features is therefore crucial.

Refer to the hardware requirements in the chapter requirements for operating AE.

Deactivate low-current functions and dynamical cycle adjustment in the BIOS on the Automation Engine computer if x core AMD CPU is used.

Software

Make sure the operating system and software is correctly installed on the computer.

Traces

Make sure a trace is only activated when necessary. When writing a trace, the trace file must be open and closed for each job. This leads to significant performance losses.
