Automating Reattachment To Netware Servers; Decreasing The Timeout Cycles - Novell GROUPWISE 8 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

3 Modify the following settings:
Idle Sleep Duration: Select the time, in seconds, you want the Internet Agent to idle after it
has processed its queues. A low setting, such as 5 seconds, speeds up processing but requires
more resources. A higher setting slows down the Internet Agent but requires fewer resources by
reducing the number of network polling scans. The default is 10 seconds.
Snap Shot Interval: The Snap Shot Interval is a sliding interval you can use to monitor
Internet Agent activity. For example, if the Snap Shot Interval remains at the default (10
minutes), the Snap Shot columns in the console display only the previous 10 minutes of
activity.

50.2.4 Decreasing the Timeout Cycles

The Internet Agent has a series of switches that control its timeout settings. By decreasing the
default time of the timeout cycles you might be able to slightly increase the Internet Agent speed.
However, the timeout cycles do not place an extremely significant burden on the overall
performance of the Internet Agent so the effect might be minimal. You should consider this option
only after you have tried everything else.

50.3 Automating Reattachment to NetWare
Servers
You can specify the reattach information for the Windows Internet Agent in ConsoleOne. Whenever
the Windows Internet Agent loses its connection to a post office that is on a NetWare server, it reads
the reattach information from the domain database and attempt to reattach to the NetWare server.
