Hi, I have been developing a UA server for CIM Server(IEC 61970/968) based on OPC UA JAVA SDK 1.01.
while I was developing the UA server, I found performance problems in data loading.

==========================================================
â—‹ Server Environment

1. Language : JAVA 1.6
2. SDK : Prosys SDK Ver 1.4.2 (OPC JAVA SDK : Opc.Ua.Stack-1.01.330.0)
3. Runtime Envirionment : CPU 2.93GHz(4 Cores), Memory 8GB, Windows 7
4. Data : Object Node 1,000,000 (Property Node 7,000,000)
5. Performance : 170,000 Nodes loading : 30 Minitutes (Too late)

over 180,000 ,,,, not estimated
==========================================================

â—‹ My Code – Load Object Data (addNode)
===============================================================
newNodeId = new NodeId(ns, nodeId);
newObjectNode = new UaObjectNode(nodeManager, newNodeId, nodeName, Locale.ENGLISH);
newTypeId = new NodeId(ns, nodeType);
newType = new UaObjectTypeNode(nodeManager, newTypeId, nodeType, Locale.ENGLISH);
newObjectNode.setTypeDefinition(newType);
newNode.addReference((UaNode)newObjectNode, Identifiers.HasComponent, false);
===============================================================

â—‹ I assume, “UaServerReference.java” code has problems.
===============================================================
UaReference[] sourceRefs = sourceNode.getReferences(referenceTypeId,
false);
if (sourceRefs != null)
for (UaReference r : sourceRefs)
if (r.getTargetId().equals(targetNode.getNodeId()))
return (UaServerReference) r;
===============================================================
– Cause
1. Too many ExpandedNodeId garbage data were increasing in memory.

My questions is:

1. Could you please tell me if SDK upgrade plan for this?
2. How to load the data in this case?
3. Any kind of solution or experience to develop the BIG DATA circumstance.

Yes, the UaNode-based design easily leads to problems with memory usage, if you have a huge number of nodes in the address space.

Therefore, it is recommended to try to map the underlying data with a custom node manager that does not need to instantiate the nodes. See the MyBigNodeManager example in the Tutorial and SampleConsoleServer project for details on how to implement your server like that.

Hello,

I’m wondering whether the performance issue with a high number of nodes is still up-to-date in the current version of the SDK.
I need to create a server for testing with 250 000 AnalogItems. I do create them (configurable through parameters) in 25 groups (FoldersType instances) with 10 000 Analog items each. Creating the first 10 000 takes about 4 seconds. From there every additional folder instance with 10 000 analogItems take approx. 2 seconds more (so 4 secs, 6secs, … 48+ secs). It looks like the SDK is doing something to/with the nodes which is linear with the number of nodes. Running the node creation in different threads per folder doesn’t help any.
The data is *not* backed by any process data, which is why I don’t use a custom nodeManager so far.

There are some changes in the SDK 2.0 beta..Have you tried with that one? Anyway, there may also be still possibilities for optimisation for this kind of scenario.

Also, the Java memory usage may affect this, so I would recommend starting the Java process with more initial memory.

I’m still on Version 1.4.4 of the Toolkit. I went through the effort of creating a custom NodeManager (like the sample MyBigIoManager). Speed is just amazing! While it would still be nice to have comparable performance using the standard UaNodeManager, the custom node manager answers all performance needs.

PS: the JVM runs with more than 4GB of RAM (out of 32GB on the machine)

Yes, with that amount of data it is easily a better option and you have full control over it.

Hello,

I have another question about the performance of the Java SDK. In our case, we instantiate multiple UaClient for each jvm process, and for each UaClient we create a handful of subscriptions. How would multiple UaClient instances affect performance? Let’s say we instantiate 10 UaClient, each with 2 subscriptions. How many native threads creations would that result in?

Each client will create two threads: one for Java IO socket listener (blocking) and another one for managing the subscription notifications and status checking.

Thanks for the reply. Does it mean that there is only one thread managing all subscriptions related to one UaClient, regardless of the number of subscriptions?
