MONITORING

Running the R5 IMAP Workload test
1. Make sure that you already completed the procedure "Running the R5 IMAP Initialization Workload."

2. In the NOTES.INI file on the SUT, verify that the Server Tasks setting includes both IMAP and LDAP.

3. On the Basics tab of the Server document for the SUT, make sure that the SMTP Listener Task is enabled.

4. For optimal performance, create a Configuration Settings document in the Domino Directory and do the following:

5. On the Domino Administrator client, start Server.Load by running SLOAD.EXE from the Program directory.

6. In the Test Type field, choose Built-In, and then choose R5 IMAP Workload from the list.

7. In the "Build Recipient List using Name and Address Book" field, enter the name of the SUT and its Domino Directory in the format servername/org!!dominodirectory.NSF -- for example, Server1/Acme!!NAMES.NSF.

8. Click the Test Parameters tab, and do the following:

9. Click the Script Variables tab, and enter these values:
VariableAction
R5IMAPBreakEnter one:
  • 1 -- To prevent the script from quitting if errors occur
  • 0 -- To force the script to quit if errors occur
