Processing: Displays a rotating bar when the POA is running. If the bar is not rotating, the POA has
stopped. For assistance, see "Post Office Agent Problems" in GroupWise 8 Troubleshooting 2:
Solutions to Common Problems.
Busy: Displays the number of POA threads currently in use (busy) for client/server connections,
message files, or both, depending on POA configuration. In a typical POA configuration, the
number to the left of the colon is the number of busy client/server threads and the number to the
right of the colon is the number of busy message handler threads. You can change the total number
of threads available. See Section 38.1.2, "Adjusting the Number of Connections for Client/Server
Processing," on page 563 and Section 38.2.1, "Adjusting the Number of POA Threads for Message
File Processing," on page 566.
User Connections (for client/server processing): Displays the number of active application
®
("virtual") TCP/IP connections between the POA and the GroupWise clients run by GroupWise
users. You can change the maximum number of user connections. See Section 38.1.2, "Adjusting
the Number of Connections for Client/Server Processing," on page 563.
Physical Connections (for client/server processing): Displays the number of active physical
TCP/IP connections between the post office and the GroupWise clients run by GroupWise users.
You can change the maximum number of physical connections. See Section 38.1.2, "Adjusting the
Number of Connections for Client/Server Processing," on page 563.
Priority Queues (for message file processing): Displays the number of messages waiting in the
high priority message queues. You can control the number of threads processing message files. See
Section 38.2.1, "Adjusting the Number of POA Threads for Message File Processing," on page 566.
Normal Queues (for message file processing): Displays the number of messages waiting in the
normal priority message queues. You can control the number of threads processing message files.
See Section 38.2.1, "Adjusting the Number of POA Threads for Message File Processing," on
page 566.
File Queues (for message file processing): Displays the total number of messages waiting in all
message queues, when client/server information and message file information are displayed
together.
The number of messages displayed as waiting in message queues is not an exact count. For example,
if the POA detects numerous messages to process in the priority 4 queue (normal messages), it does
not scan and count messages in lower priority queues. Therefore, actual counts of message files
waiting in queues could be higher than the counts displayed in the Status box.
For information about the various message queues in the post office, see "Post Office Directory" in
GroupWise 8 Troubleshooting 3: Message Flow and Directory Structure.
POA Web Console The Status page also displays the status information listed above. In addition,
you can display detailed information about specific queue contents.
POA Statistics Box
The POA Statistics box displays statistics showing the current workload of the POA. The
information displayed varies depending on whether the POA is processing client/server connections,
message files, both, or neither.
C/S Requests (for client/server processing): Displays the number of active client/server requests
between GroupWise clients and the POA.
