Best practices for Maximo performance
Here are some links to help with tuning your Maximo application. These range from database configuration to websphere.
Optimize SQL Server 2005 with Maximo 6.1 or above
To help improve performance on SQL Server 2005 with Maximo 6.1 or above use this settings in the maximo.properties file.
