Troubleshooting Slow Replication (After Service Start)

Sometimes Tiger Bridge might be slow to replicate after starting. There are several actions you may take in such a case.

Not all of these actions are needed. Depending on the situation, one might be more preferable than another. Changing only one of these might be enough for fixing the problem:

  • Create the following registry setting in Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tiger Technology\tiger-bridge\tiersvc\settings:
    step_ready_wait_time - as String Value (REG_SZ)
    The value for the setting is in seconds and defines the interval (after Tiger Bridge service starts) after which the policy work with be active - replication, reclaim space, etc.
    The default behavior is to wait for all the files on the source to be processed before starting the policy work.
  • Edit the nt_work_threads_count registry setting in the same location - it configures how many worker threads are used to index the files, default is 2. A higher number of workers will speed up the indexing process. The "price" is paid in the form of increased CPU usage.
  • Edit the work_threads_count registry setting in the same location - it configures how many workers are used by the policy tasks - a higher number of workers will speed up the indexing process. The "price" is paid in the form of increased CPU usage. This is not a linear increase in speed and if the number of workers is higher than the number needed to saturate the transmission channel, no speed increase will be noticed.
  • Add a database_mode setting and set it to memory. The setting must be created in: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tiger Technology\tiger-bridge\tiersvc\fstrack_settings as a String (REG_SZ). This will allow Tiger Bridge to use the memory as active storage for the files database. This will consume a substantial amount of memory - 40mil files - ~6Gb of memory.

Important: Restarting the service is required in order for any of the settings to be put in use.
