This test monitors each queue of the Project server, counts the unprocessed jobs in every queue, and thus pinpoints the queue that is unable to process requests quickly. By reporting the number of threads the queue is currently using for processing requests, the test also indicates whether/not the lack of enough processor threads is the reason for the poor processing ability of the queue. This way, the test not only alerts administrators to a processing bottleneck in a queue, but also leads to the probable cause of the same.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

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

• Specify the host for which the test is to be configured in the HOST text box.

• Specify the port at which the specified HOST listens to in the PORT text box. By default, this is NULL.

• 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.
