Optimizing the Notes Gateway

You can adjust how the Notes Gateway functions in order to optimize its performance. Before
attempting optimization, you should run the Notes Gateway long enough to observe its efficiency
and its impact on other network applications running on the same server. See
"Monitoring the Notes Gateway," on page
Also, remember that optimizing your network hardware and operating system can make a
difference in Notes Gateway performance.
The following topics help you optimize the Notes Gateway:

Adjusting the Gateway's Send/Receive Cycle

The Notes Gateway's send/receive cycle determines how much time the gateway spends sending
messages as opposed to receiving them. The send process refers to messages sent from
GroupWise
The default send/receive cycle is 120 seconds, which causes the gateway to send messages for a
maximum of 60 seconds and then receive messages for 60 seconds. You can adjust the send/
receive cycle to better suit your environment and needs. You can also adjust some additional time-
related settings for the gateway.
