Configuration of SPGathProjTest

This test monitors the transactions on the crawl component and reports the count of transactions that are waiting for processing by the content processor and those that have completed processing. In the process, the test turns the spotlight on a potential processing slowdown and accurately pinpoints what is causing it - is it owing to too many crawls? Or is it because the content processor and/or the crawl database are incorrectly sized? Based on the results of this test, administrators can clearly understand what needs to be fine-tuned and how?

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 used by the HOST in the PORT text box.

• 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.
