Architecture: Since performance is based on HFM Technical Built, we need to check complete Architecture.

Means how many consolidation servers, web servers, application server used and combination of Hyperion components. These all are dependent on no of users.

All Server Details: Physical structure of the servers. That is processor speed, RAM speed, cache memory, Disk space etc., And Microsoft patches are upto date or not.

Installation: Installation is properly done or not. Mainly we need to concentrate on different combination of components split in different servers. And if there are any repetitions of components. Again It depends on Architecture. We need to see if there is any deviation from the architecture.

Configuration: We need to check whether configuration is done properly or not. Whether proper schema are used separately for all components. And we need to see the validation errors.

Logs: In this especially we need to check configuration error logs and hsvevent.log. And also whether all logs and system messages and task audits are regularly cleared. Performance is also based on these logs.

Ex: If HSVevent log is not working then nothing will work properly in HFM

Ports: We need to check whether defaults ports are taken or user defined ports are taken. If user defined ports are taken then all the Ports (main ports as well listener ports) are working and properly communicating to each other. We need to check the Network traffic and speed between these ports especially speed between application server and webserver.

Patches: For HFM to work properly without any problem, we need to apply around 10 to 15 patches. We need to check all patches are upto date or not.

 Database Tuning: This is the most important part related to performance tuning. In this we need to see the schemas, tablespaces, Index, Memory Target, Memory sizing, log buffering, pooled connections for hyperion

Application Tuning: Performance is also based on Application built.In this we need to check how the application is built. We need to check Hierarchies, rollups, Memberlists, rules etc. We need to observe how the data is retrieved from main cubes based on sub cubes. Appart from this we need to tune Application server (Weblogic) and Webserver (IIS)also.
