Benchmark LogicalDOC

Introduction

This page documents the benchmark suite available since LogicalDOC 6.5. There is a new remotely-driven benchmark client that can be run against any standard server installation. The aim is to provide a simple Java client that can call through to a standard remote LogicalDOC installation (cluster or single machine) and provide an indication of the performance of the configuration. The Remote Benchmark Client communicates with LogicalDOC over SOAP. The services exposed over SOAP are also fit for production-level clients, and the general infrastructure can be used to expose any number of services for other client code to use. All files can be downloaded directly from the LogicalDOC Distributions (http://sourceforge.net/projects/logicaldoc/files/distribution).

Activating the Server WebServices APIs

Although the exposed services on the server are fully protected by the necessary authentication mechanisms, a sample flag still needs to be enabled to expose them. In the Administration, go to Settings->Client and External Apps->WebServices and click on Enabled and press Save.

Getting the Client

The client is packaged in a .zip archive named logicaldoc-XXX-benchmark.zip.

Client Configuration

The client is initialized using setting read from a Java properties file. The location of this file is conf/context.properties.

The config is divided into two sections. The session section controls behaviour across all execution threads, while the test.load
