  • Use Application Runtime Expert to validate your environment 
  • Review your browser security settings. For details see the following web page:
  • Allow pop-ups for exporting files and creating Reports
  • Close unneeded tabs in Navigator session
    • Tasks in tabs consume resources and may cause performance degradation if too many are open
  • Do not use PF-5 to Refresh a panel
    • Instead use the Refresh button found on Navigator list panels 
  • Always clear your browser cache after Navigator updates have been installed
    • Or run in Chrome - Incognito mode or Firefox - private mode
  • Close the Dashboard tab if you do not need it
    • It consumes system resources since it is periodically pinging the system status
  • Keep current on group PTFs!
  • Use the Web Performance Advisor to validate your Web Performance
  • Ensure QMAXACTLVL system value is set to *NOMAX
    • This value is the number of jobs/threads that can simultaneously compete for memory and CPU.
  • Performance management on IBM i
  • Disable IPv6 if not needed/used
