Connection Pools – Best Practices

Improperly defined connection pool would affect the OBIEE performance and user experience. Here are some of the things to consider while defining connection pool.

• Change the default maximum connections. The default is 10. Based on your system usage change the value that is more realistic to your system usage

• Create a separate connection pool for execution of session variables

• Create a separate connection pool for the execution of aggregate persistence wizard. Remember that you need to give the schema user owner credentials for this connection pool as the wizard creates and drops tables

• Create a separate connection pool for Usage Tracking.
