Lotus Domino Administrator 6 Help - Running the R5 Simple Mail Routing test

MONITORING

Running the R5 Simple Mail Routing test
1. Make sure that you already completed the procedure "Running the R5 NRPC Mail Initialization Workload."

2. On the SUT, do the following:

Start the Calendar Connector task (Calconn).
In the Configuration Settings document on the Router/SMTP Basics tab, set the field "Number of mailboxes" to 2 or higher.

3. In the Test Type field, choose Built-In, and then choose R5 Simple Mail Routing test from the list.

4. Click the Test Parameters tab. 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.

5. Click the Script Variables tab, and enter these values:

Variable Action

MailServer Enter the canonical name of the mail server -- for example, CN=MailServer1/O=Acme.

nb_dbdir Enter a database directory relative to the Notes data directory. Recommended value is mail\.

MailTemplate Enter the name of the mail file template.

NBTestReset Enter one to control how to handle existing documents at the start of the test:

1 -- To delete existing documents
0 -- To ignore existing documents
Note The number of documents deleted is dependent on the value set for the variable MaxDocToDelete.

MaxDocToDelete Enter the number of documents to delete when the test starts. After deleting documents, the initial document count is reset.

NumMailNotesPerUser Number of notes used to populate the mail file when the mail file is created (recommended value 100)

NormalMessageSize Enter the size of the body of the message. Recommended value is 10000.

NumMessageRecipients Enter the number of recipients for each message. Recommended value is 3.

NthIteration Enter the frequency for how often a message is sent. Instead of the message being sent on every script iteration, the message is sent once per n iterations of the script. Recommended value is 6.

ScriptIterationLimit Enter the number of times the outer loop of the test script runs. Recommended value is 1. This value must match the value in the Script Loop Count field on the Test Parameters tab.

6. (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.

7. Click Execute.

8. (Optional) Select metrics to monitor.

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

9. (Optional) In the "Server to receive console commands" field, enter the name of the SUT.

10. Click Start Test.
