For information, see the topic "Setting up clients and servers for Server.Load" earlier in this chapter.

3. Run the "Create NotesBench Mail Person Documents" agent to create the desired number of Person documents in the Domino Directory. When prompted, set these variables:

Variable	Setting
Message storage format	0 (NOTES)
Mail system	1 (NOTES)

4. In the Test Type field, choose Built-In, and then choose R5 NRPC Mail Initialization Workload from the list.

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

1. For "Thread Creation Interval," enter the rate, in seconds, at which simulated users are created. The recommended value is 3 to 5 seconds.
2. If you are running the test on multiple clients, increment the value of the Starting Thread No. parameter when you run the test on each client.

8. Verify that no errors occur while creating mail files on the client and SUT. If a mail file is not created, the test script creates the mail file during the first test iteration, a process that adds overhead on the server back end. As a rule, CPU on the client and SUT should not exceed 75%, and the percentage of disk time on the server's data directory should not be a factor.

9. (Optional) Click the Stop Conditions tab to set a stop condition.

For more information, see the topic "Setting a Server.Load stop condition" earlier in this chapter.

11. (Optional) Select metrics to monitor.

For more information, see the topic "Monitoring Server.Load metrics" earlier in this chapter.

13. Click Start Test.

14. Verify that the correct number of test mail files were created in the data directory. Each mail file is named MAILn.NSF, where n is a number.

15. Complete the procedure "Running the R5 Simple Mail Routing test."
