Domino 6.5.2 Server_Transinfo_Range parameter question

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have come across a Domino R6.5.2 server with the Notes.ini parameter, Server_Transinfo_Range=450. Is this a valid setting or a mistake. The server is a Dual Xeon 2.4Ghz CPU with 3.5GB of RAM. (not clustered). What would be the SAI, using this range setting.

Thanks

I think your parameter is very big.2 raise to the power of 450 is huge. I don’t think you SAI will be using all this interval.

To change the expansion factor value that indicates a fully loaded server, add the following setting to your NOTES.INI file, and then restart the server.

SERVER_TRANSINFO_RANGE=n

For the value of n, choose a number such that 2 raised to the power of n equals the expansion factor value that you want to indicate a fully loaded server. The default value for n is 6, which leads to an expansion factor value of 64 because 2 raised to the 6th power is 64. If you set SERVER_TRANSINFO_RANGE to 7, then the expansion factor value that indicates a fully loaded server becomes 128. If you set SERVER_TRANSINFO_RANGE to 8, the value becomes 256.

To determine the optimal value for SERVER_TRANSINFO_RANGE, do the following:

  1. During a period of heavy usage, monitor the expansion factor on your server. You can use the console command “show stat server.expansionfactor” to do this. You can also monitor performance statistics during these periods. Record enough values for the expansion factor during heavy usage so that you can determine the expansion factor value you want to indicate a fully loaded server.

  2. Determine a value for SERVER_TRANSINFO_RANGE such that 2 raised to the power of that value results in the expansion factor value you chose in step 1.

Thanks for your response. I agree, the number is huge! Perhaps it has been set to such a high number so it would be more or less equate to being unlimited?

Would having such a high setting actually be detrimental to the server’s performance?
