Modifying MBean attributes in the Site Configuration window

You can modify some MBean attributes for HCL Compass Web server by using the Web Server Options page of the Site Configuration window.

The HCL Compass Web server MBean attributes have default values that are suitable for most deployments. As you use HCL Compass Web, you might want to modify some of the options in the MBeans to fine-tune performance. For example, some environments allow for higher thresholds and longer run times for backend processes, so these processes might require less frequent recycling.

The HCL Compass Web application provides an administrative interface to some HCL Compass Web server MBeans. Click Site Administration > Configuration and select the HCL Compass Web Server Options tab. You can fine tune the MBean attributes described in Table 1.
