Easily Identify when WebCenter is Ready to Access

WebCenter services load a lot of data into memory during startup of its services. It is important to watch the CPU activity before accessing a WebCenter site.

You want both the Web Server and the Application Server to have a CPU activity of under 5% before accessing the site, otherwise all components may not have started and you may experience error messages. Another way is to check whether wcr_jboss_srv.exe threads exceed 160 and wcr_tomcat_srv.exe threads exceed 100.

To help watch the CPU activity easily, add the CPU performance monitor to the system tray of each WebCenter server. To do this (on both the Web Server and the Application Server):

1. Create a new shortcut in the Start Menu > Programs > Startup folder.
2. Browse to Windows\system32\TASKMGR.EXE.
3. Set the shortcut to Run "Minimized".
