If GroupWise client users cannot connect to the POA immediately or if response is sluggish, you
can increase the number of threads.
1 In ConsoleOne
2 Click GroupWise > Agent Settings to display the Agent Settings page.
3 Increase the number in the Client/Server Handler Threads field to increase the maximum
number of threads the POA can create for client/server processing.
The optimum number of threads for a POA is affected by many factors, including available
system resources, number of users in Caching mode, number of users priming Caching
mailboxes, and so on.
Plan on at least one client/server handler thread per 20-30 client/server users. Or, you can
increase the number of client/server handler threads in increments of three to five threads until
acceptable throughput is reached. Another approach is to set the value high initially and then
monitor thread usage with the C/S Handler Threads link on the
console. If some of the threads always have a count of 0 (zero), meaning they are never used,
you can decrease the number of client/server handler threads accordingly.
4 Click OK to save the new thread setting.
ConsoleOne then notifies the POA to restart so the new thread setting can be put into effect.
