BASE PORTAL TUNING
The Base Portal Scenario covers user login, page navigation, and interaction with simple
portlets. Users can see a small set of pages, some of which are visible to all authenticated
users, with access to others based on their group membership.
portlets. Users can see a small set of pages, some of which are visible to all authenticated
users, with access to others based on their group membership.
We have also benchmarked a number of other scenarios, which focus on different functions
or use cases for WebSphere Portal. For example, there are scenarios which make use of
Web Content Management (WCM), and a scenario where users have access to thousands
of pages. While we have used different tuning to optimize performance for some of those
scenarios, the tuning is all based on the tuning done in the Base Portal Scenario.

In all of our measurement environments, we use a separate database server and directory
server, in addition to the WebSphere Portal server. We run these servers on separate
systems to avoid resource contention on the system running the WebSphere Portal server.
This helps improve the maximum capacity achievable.
