Event Processing Performance Due to Mid-Tier Connector

Symptom:

I am experiencing some event processing performance issues due to the Mid-Tier connector. The Mid-Tier connector is not required in my infrastructure for event processing. How can I disable it?

Solution:

You can disable the Mid-Tier connector if the holistic action processing layer that it provides is not necessary for your Event Management implementation. Bypassing the Mid-Tier connector if you are not using it for event policies improves the event processing performance. The setMTCstate utility disables the connector and reroutes events so that they proceed directly to the SA Manager from connectors.

Run this utility on the SA Manager system. The utility assumes the default Mid-Tier connector configuration, with one Mid-Tier connector that is installed on the SA Manager.

Follow these steps:

1. Shut down the Mid-Tier connector using the CA SOI Administration UI.
2. Navigate to SOI_HOME\Tools on the SA Manager and run the following command:

   setMTCstate Disabled
   

   The Mid-Tier connector is disabled.

   Note: You can also enable the Mid-Tier connector if you have previously disabled it by substituting the term Enabled for Disabled.

3. Restart the CA SAM Application Server service.

   The change is applied and the connector is disabled.
