Subject: Re: [WEB400] Web Service slow on first call of the day
The first call is always going to be slower, that's just the nature of
the beast.
30+45 seems excessive, but I suppose it depends on what's happening
30+behind
the scenes.
You've got a couple options
1) Stop taking down everything every night
2) In your start up, include a program that makes a priming call to
the web service.

(cross-posting to MIDRANGE-L)throughout the day.
I have developed a web service with the Integrated Web Services
facility
(IWS) that is almost production ready, but I'm noticing that the
very first call of the day takes 30-45 seconds to return a response.
A subsequent calls provide sub-second responses, and that continues
I'm normally pretty patient, but this will be used to provide datacall.
to a customer-facing web site, and if I was the first customer of
the day to the web site, I'd give up if it hung for more than 10
seconds -- by
30 seconds I'd be off doing other things for sure.
My questions are:
1. What are the likely causes for the delay-on-first-call behavior?
2. What might I do to either eliminate the problem, or perhaps
simulate a call on web server start-up, so that the first customer
gets an acceptable response time?
In our environment, we take down most subsystems overnight, for
database back-ups, for about 2 hours. When that completes, a n
orderly CL-driven start-up occurs, and the various subsystems are
restarted and are ready for action by about 4:30 AM. The web
services are automatically active as the web server comes up.
The web service itself calls an ILE-RPG program that calls a number
of service program procedures to gather data elements needed for the
web site presentation and navigation. Most of those procedures use
embedded static SQL. In my testing, I use the SOAPUI utility to
simulate the calls that the web site script would use, and it is
with the SOAPUI calls that I observe the delay in response on that
first
My guess is that at least one component along the way takes a longthere.
time to set up open data paths or something else that all the
subsequent calls get a free ride on, but I don't know enough about
what goes on behind the IWS curtain to know if there isn't an
obstacle

All ideas are welcome. Let me know what other details might be helpful.
