Weblogic 10.3.6 Smart Update GUI Tool very slow despite remedial works
I've had to apply a number of Weblogic patches to a 10.3.6 instance running in Windows 2012. The server has 8GB of RAM and 4CPU cores. Server performance is very good.
The application of these patches is always successful but the entire process using the GUI is painfully slow.
We followed the guidelines set out in Doc ID 2271366.1 to improve things, and this included:
- Upgrading the Smart Upgrade utility as per Patch 12426828
- Set the MEM_ARGS to MEM_ARGS=-Xms4096 -Xmx4096
- Set the MEM_ARGS to MEM_ARGS=-Xms5120m -Xmx5120m -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit
- Disabled McAfee AV software for the duration of the patching
