610: PeopleSoft Performance Tuning at UBS
UBS has been using PeopleSoft HR and Payroll for over 3 years to pay its 33000 Swiss employees, originally a local payroll, and PeopleSoft 8 and Global Payroll since January 2002. All of their employees have self-service access, their HR managers have more sophisticated access, all through the Internet Architecture. There have been various performance challenges along the way. Accurate performance metric information is required when deciding how to configure the system and where to expend effort on tuning. As a result, typical on-line response is sub-second, and the first payroll calculation completed in under 30 minutes. This presentation will discuss, for both batch and on-line processing, the various sources of performance metrics, what they mean, how they relate to each other.
