General

It can be useful to observe the load behaviour of the system through a continuous performance test. This involves periodically executing a typical operation in the background and measuring the time required to execute it. timeSensor LEGAL allows you to set up such a background test both on the server and on any workstations.


How does the background performance test work?

The performance test is only carried out if there are more than 20 clients in the database. If this is the case, 20 random services and one invoice are generated for each performance test within a transaction in 10 different mandates. The time needed for this process is then measured. The transaction is then discarded so that the test leaves no real traces in the database.

Execution on the server

On the server, the background performance test is switched on by default and runs once a day at a random time. To change the execution frequency of the test, go to the Settings area and select the command Special in the Admin menu. Then click on the 4D Server tab:



Execution on workstations

To set up a background performance test on a specific workstation, make sure that the master switch is switched on. Only if this is the case can you configure the test per workstation. To switch the Master Switch on or off, go to the Settings area and select the command Special in the Admin menu. Then click on the 4D Client tab:


On the workstation on which you want to activate the background performance test, go to the Settings area and click on Parameters. Then click on System. The settings made here only apply to this workstation. For security reasons, the test switches off automatically after a maximum of 14 days.
