The iPlanet messaging server instance message store contains a database (Berkley DB) that stores information about the mailboxes on the server, and stores quota information about the mailboxes. The IMSDbLogFileTest monitors the log files of the message store database.  

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. 

• In the HOST text box, the host name of the iPlanet messaging server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

• In the PORT text box, the SMTP port of the iPlanet messaging server needs to be specified.

• In the MBOXLISTPATH text box, specify the the complete path to the "mboxlist" directory of the current instance of the messaging server. By default, this directory will be located within the "store" directory of the "messaging server instance directory". For example, the MBOXLISTPATH in Windows environments can be: C :\iPlanet\Server5\msg-egtest\store\mboxlist, and in Unix environments, it can be: /usr/iplanet/server5/msg-sun08/store/mboxlist.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.

Note:

While installing the eG agent on an iPlanet messaging server in an Unix environment, ensure that the eG user (specified during agent installation) is the same as the iPlanet messaging server user (created at the time of the server installation).
