Reducing Network Traffic - Novell GROUPWISE 7 GATEWAY - INSTALLATION AND ADMINISTRATION Installation And Administration Manual

Reducing Network Traffic

By default, the Notes Gateway's queue directories are located in the
directory on the server where the domain is located. To reduce network traffic, you can redirect
the gateway's queue directories to the Windows server where the gateway is running.
If you choose to place the queue directories on the gateway server's local drive, make sure the
gateway server has sufficient disk space, memory, and processing power to handle the load.
Start the gateway using the following startup switch:
ngate /work-queue_directory
where queue_directory is the path to the directory where you want the gateway queues created.
For example, you could use a c:\lngate directory on the local drive. Make sure the directory is not
used by any other program. The gateway must have exclusive access to the directory; any
unrecognized files in the directory are immediately moved to the gwprob subdirectory.
The first time you start the gateway using the /work switch, the gateway creates the necessary file
structure in the specified directory. It creates a
directories. This local structure is used as long as you continue to start the gateway with the /work
switch. You might want to add the /work switch to the startup file (notes.cfg) so the gateway
always uses the same queue directory. See
