Let me start by saying I've read most of the Workflow documents regarding Performance/Capacity Planning and Production Rollout Considerations and have adhered to most recommendations such as:

# of Execution Servers based on processors
Ensuring adequate nightly Cleanup Server time to zero out done processes
Regular DB2 statistics and binding
Cleaning out FMC.SYSTEM_LOG and FMC.ERROR_LOG every other day
(I'm sure there are others that I can't remember)

What I haven't found is something about looking at Workflow performance and utilization once the environment is running. I have suspicions that Workflow is getting taxed, since sometimes I see Workflow being unresponsive or even having the fmcamain appear to "hang" when trying to login to fmcautil. We are running an AIX 3-tier environment with Workflow 3.4sp4, MQ 5.3, DB2 7.2, WAS 4. When I look in our 3-tier environment, none of the servers appear to be anywhere near capacity from a processor, memory, file system space and pagefile size standpoint. Of course, I'm looking at it from a server standpoint and not a Workflow-specific angle. I can't find anything in the fmcsys.log or fmcerr.log to indicate there is a problem either.

I'm wondering if there is anything else I might look at to determine what Workflow would be tied up with or what other aspects I might look at to determine if Workflow itself is taxed.

Thanks! Any help would be appreciated!
