Oracle Performance Tuning - The Bentley Communication products (particularly Coax) can be database intensive in high production environments. Normally, the Oracle automatic statistics optimizer should be sufficient to keep the database running efficiently, assuming that there is a maintenance window for it to run in. If a performance issue is noticed, it may be necessary to use manual statistics in addition to automatic to keep the database running smoothly. For more information, please refer to Oracle Documentation – Database Performance Tuning Guide – Managing Optimizer Statistics.

Bentley does not support its software running on Microsoft operating systems versions that Microsoft has "retired”. Microsoft has already deprecated support for Windows XP and “retired” it in 2014. For more information see Microsoft's application retirement policy and the Bentley Application Support Lifecycle.
