How to increase the max-pool-size for the Workpoint data source (WPDS) in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle

NOTE: This RSA Knowledge Base Article applies to RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle versions 7.1.0 and earlier.
The max-pool-size connection setting for the Workpoint data source (WPDS) may be set to 90, which is too low for heavy workflow usage. Engineering recommends a minimum setting of 150. On a system with heavy workflow usage, this value may need to be increased above 150.
Examples of errors that indicate connections need to be increased are as follows:
- These errors are often noticed in the server.log file ($AVEKSA_HOME/wildfly/standalone/log/server.log), if login attempts fail.

- In the WorkPoint.log file ($AVEKSA_HOME/wildfly/standalone/log/WorkPoint.log) the following messages may show:
==========

Resolution
Steps to modify the Workpoint Data Source (WPDS) max-pool-size
On a standalone (non-clustered) system:
- Log in as user oracle.
- Edit the aveksa-standalone-full.xml file.
$ cd home/oracle/wildfly/standalone/configuration $ vi aveksa-standalone-full.xml
- Change <max-pool-size>90</max-pool-size> to <max-pool-size>150</max-pool-size>.
<xa-datasource jndi-name="java:/jdbc/WPDS" pool-name="WPDS" enabled="true" use-java-context="true" use-ccm="true"> <xa-datasource-property name="URL"> jdbc:oracle:thin:@//localhost:1555/AVDB </xa-datasource-property> <driver>OracleXADriver</driver> <xa-pool> <min-pool-size>10</min-pool-size> <max-pool-size>150</max-pool-size>
- Restart RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle.
$ acm restart
On a cluster:
- Log in to the domain controller as user oracle.
- Edit the domain.xml file.
$ cd home/oracle/wildfly/domain/configuration $ vi domain.xml
- Change <max-pool-size>90</max-pool-size> to <max-pool-size>150</max-pool-size>.
<xa-datasource jndi-name="java:/jdbc/WPDS" pool-name="WPDS" enabled="true" use-java-context="true" use-ccm="true"> <xa-datasource-property name="URL"> jdbc:oracle:thin:@//localhost:1555/AVDB </xa-datasource-property> <driver>OracleXADriver</driver> <xa-pool> <min-pool-size>10</min-pool-size> <max-pool-size>150</max-pool-size>
- Restart all nodes of the cluster.
SuSE 11 commands
service aveksa_cluster stop service aveksa_cluster start
SuSE 12 commands
systemctl stop aveksa_cluster systemctl start aveksa_cluster
Notes
- Login as user oracle.
- Edit the aveksa-ds.xml file.
$ cd /home/oracle/jboss/server/default/deploy $ vi aveksa-ds.xml
- Change <max-pool-size>90</max-pool-size> to <max-pool-size>150</max-pool-size>:
<xa-datasource>
<jndi-name>jdbc/WPDS</jndi-name>
<track-connection-by-tx/>
<isSameRM-override-value>false</isSameRM-override-value>
<xa-datasource-class>oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource</xa-datasource-class>
<xa-datasource-property name="URL">jdbc:oracle:thin:@//localhost:1555/avdb</xa-datasource-property>
<!-- Determines whether database exceptions are fatal. Our custom exception sorter delegates
to org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.OracleExceptionSorter,
but then marks certain exceptions "fatal" which the default sorter determind to be "non-fatal". -->
<exception-sorter-class-name>com.aveksa.jdbc.OracleExceptionSorter</exception-sorter-class-name>
<no-tx-separate-pools/>
<max-pool-size>150</max-pool-size>
- Restart RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle
$ acm restart
