IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.1.2 Interim Fix #415016 Readme File

Abstract

To improve SSM performance and memory usage, you can disable the task runtime information notification and the boundary event notification.

Description

The task runtime information notification feature provides a mechanism that allows the service instance to keep the client updated about its runtime information.

The boundary event notification feature relays to a client API whether a boundary event has been triggered, or if the session has been suspended or resumed.

If your application is not using the task runtime information notification or the boundary event notification features, you can disable those features.

This fix applies only to the following platform:

Linux 64bit
