Suggested Performance Testing Scenarios for Documentum (Webtop)

This is going to be a simple list:

- Login to Webtop (Due to authentication and display of cabinets/folders which involve ACL checks)
- Simple Search with 1 or 2 keywords (Due to FAST search engine and the ACL checks)
- Navigation to folders (object-list component could be very slow because of all the ACL checks, validation of actions, etc)
- Download a document (UCF can be slow)
- Upload a document (again UCF)

NOTE:
1) Rendering of HTML, Javascript, etc on a browser could take 1-3 seconds to display.
2) If you have Antivirus (Noticed with McAfee) which scans the HTML and .JS files, this will slow down the rendering further.

I will update this list if I come across any other scenarios.

    We just had an issue with very slow performance on a production installation which turned to be that the Data Source SQL Server client was tracing to a local file. This output was enough to dramatically slow down all of the Content Server’s processing.
