The following list provides best practices for iWay Business Activity Monitor (BAM).
The iWay BAM database has to be archived on a regular schedule since the amount of data being processed through the monitored channels will cause the database to continuously grow. Based on customer implementations, it is recommended to archive the database between four and seven days, depending on the data traffic. The more data that exists in the database, as a consequence, the slower the BAM GUI will respond when you refresh the page.
There are two ways to archive the iWay BAM database and reduce its size:
By setting this parameter to false, less information is captured during channel activity and the overall channel activity is monitored. This option is viable in a production system that would not need to monitor the internal steps of each transaction (such as every single step of the process) like event messages on the transaction level. As a result, the size of the database increases at a slower rate. Specifically less inserts of data are made, which results in higher performance.
