Windows diagnostics checklist

This section contains items that you can do to monitor the performance of Windows on the Server.

• Check hard disk space

  Check the hard disk space routinely to make certain AVEVA™ Production Management has enough hard disk space to operate.

• Clear temp folders

  Although AVEVA™ Production Management does not write to any temp folders, it is still a good idea to routinely clear the contents of temp folders that may be produced by other software.

• Check for memory leaks

  Periodically check for memory leakage. An indication of memory leakage is that you may see the total memory use on a performance counter steadily rising and not recovering. For more information, see Performance counters.

• Specify the size of the Application event log

  AVEVA™ Production Management writes to your Application event log. Specify the log size of 100 MB – 250 MB (recommended for most installations). For more information, see Specify the size of the Application event log.

• Defragment the hardware

  Defragment the hard drive of an Server regularly for optimal performance. For more information, see Schedule disk defragmentation.

• Virus scan the drive

  It is important to protect the Server from viral threats. For more information, see Installing virus scanner.
