37.1 Using the POA Server Console

The following topics help you monitor and control the POA from the POA server console:

37.1.1 Monitoring the POA from the POA Server Console

The POA server console provides information, status, and message statistics about the POA to help you assess its current functioning.

Figure 37-1 POA Server Console

NetWare

The POA server console always displays on the NetWare® server console.

Linux:

You must use the --show startup switch in order to display the Linux POA server console. See Starting the Linux Agents with a User Interface in Installing GroupWise Agents in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide.

Windows:

You can suppress the Windows POA server console by running the POA as a service. See Starting the Windows GroupWise Agents in Installing GroupWise Agents in the GroupWise 7 Installation Guide.

The POA server console consists of several components:

Do not exit the POA server console unless you want to stop the POA.

NetWare:

At a NetWare server console, you can use Alt+Esc to change screens. In a remote console window, you can use Alt+F1 to select a screen to view. You can use these keystrokes to display the POA server console if it is not immediately visible on the NetWare console.

Linux:

You can minimize the POA server console, but do not close it unless you want to stop the POA.

Windows:

You can minimize the POA server console, but do not close it unless you want to stop the POA.

POA Information Box

The POA Information box identifies the POA whose POA server console you are viewing, which is especially helpful when multiple POAs are running on the same server.

PostOffice.Domain: Displays the name of the post office serviced by this POA, and what domain it is linked to.

Description: Displays the description provided in the Description field in the POA Identification page in ConsoleOne. When you run multiple POAs on the same server, the description should uniquely identify each one. If multiple administrators work at the server where the POA runs, the description could include a note about who to contact before stopping the POA.

Up Time: Displays the length of time the POA has been running.

POA Web Console The Status page also displays this information.

POA Status Box

The POA Status box displays the current status of the POA and its backlog. The information displayed varies depending on whether the POA is processing client/server connections, message files, both, or neither.

Processing: Displays a rotating bar when the POA is running. If the bar is not rotating, the POA has stopped. For assistance, see Post Office Agent Problems in GroupWise 7 Troubleshooting 2: Solutions to Common Problems.

Busy: Displays the number of POA threads currently in use (busy) for client/server connections, message files, or both, depending on POA configuration. In a typical POA configuration, the number to the left of the colon is the number of busy client/server threads and the number to the right of the colon is the number of busy message handler threads. You can change the total number of threads available. See Section 38.1.2, Adjusting the Number of Connections for Client/Server Processing and Section 38.2.1, Adjusting the Number of POA Threads for Message File Processing.

User Connections (for client/server processing): Displays the number of active application (“virtual”) TCP/IP connections between the POA and the GroupWise® clients run by GroupWise users. You can change the maximum number of user connections. See Section 38.1.2, Adjusting the Number of Connections for Client/Server Processing.

Physical Connections (for client/server processing): Displays the number of active physical TCP/IP connections between the post office and the GroupWise clients run by GroupWise users. You can change the maximum number of physical connections. See Section 38.1.2, Adjusting the Number of Connections for Client/Server Processing.

Priority Queues (for message file processing): Displays the number of messages waiting in the high priority message queues. You can control the number of threads processing message files. See Section 38.2.1, Adjusting the Number of POA Threads for Message File Processing.

Normal Queues (for message file processing): Displays the number of messages waiting in the normal priority message queues. You can control the number of threads processing message files. See Section 38.2.1, Adjusting the Number of POA Threads for Message File Processing.

File Queues (for message file processing): Displays the total number of messages waiting in all message queues, when client/server information and message file information are displayed together.

The number of messages displayed as waiting in message queues is not an exact count. For example, if the POA detects numerous messages to process in the priority 4 queue (normal messages), it does not scan and count messages in lower priority queues. Therefore, actual counts of message files waiting in queues could be higher than the counts displayed in the Status box.

For information about the various message queues in the post office, see Post Office Directory in GroupWise 7 Troubleshooting 3: Message Flow and Directory Structure.

POA Web Console The Status page also displays the status information listed above. In addition, you can display detailed information about specific queue contents.

POA Statistics Box

The POA Statistics box displays statistics showing the current workload of the POA. The information displayed varies depending on whether the POA is processing client/server connections, message files, both, or neither.

C/S Requests (for client/server processing): Displays the number of active client/server requests between GroupWise clients and the POA.

Requests Pending (for client/server processing): Displays the number of client/server requests from GroupWise clients the POA has not yet been able to respond to. If the number is large, see POA Statistics Box Shows Requests Pending in Post Office Agent Problems in GroupWise 7 Troubleshooting 2: Solutions to Common Problems.

Users Timed Out (for client/server processing): Displays the number of GroupWise clients no longer communicating with the POA. If the number is large, see POA Statistics Box Shows Users Timed Out in Post Office Agent Problems in GroupWise 7 Troubleshooting 3: Message Flow and Directory Structure.

Message Files (for message file processing): Displays the total number of messages processed by the POA. This includes user messages, status messages, and service requests processed by the POA.

Undeliverable (for message file processing): Displays the number of messages that could not be delivered because the user was not found in that post office or because of other similar problems. Senders of undeliverable messages are notified. For assistance, see Message Has Undeliverable Status in Strategies for Message Delivery Problems in GroupWise 7 Troubleshooting 2: Solutions to Common Problems.

Problem Messages (for message file processing): Displays the number of invalid message files that have problems not related to user error. It also displays requests the POA cannot process because of error conditions. For assistance, see Message Is Dropped in the problem Directory in Strategies for Message Delivery Problems in GroupWise 7 Troubleshooting 2: Solutions to Common Problems.

Users Delivered: Displays the number of user messages delivered to recipients in the post office. A message with six recipients in the local post office is counted six times.

Statuses: Displays the number of status messages delivered to recipients in the post office.

Rules Executed: Displays the number of users’ rules executed by the POA.

POA Web Console The Status page also displays this information. In addition, you can display detailed information about client/server connections and message file processing.

POA Log Message Box

The POA Log Message box displays the same information that is being written to the POA log file. The amount of information displayed in the POA Log Message box depends on the current log settings for the POA. See Section 37.3, Using POA Log Files. The information scrolls up automatically.

Windows Note: To stop the automatic scrolling, click Log, then deselect Auto Scroll. You can then use the scroll bar to browse through the contents of the log message box.

POA Web Console You can view and search POA log files on the Log Files page.

Informational Messages

When you first start the POA, you typically see informational messages that list current agent settings, current number of threads, TCP/IP options (client/server), and scheduled events. As the POA runs, it continues to provide status and delivery information in the POA Log Message box.

Error Messages

If the POA encounters a problem processing a message, it displays an error message in the POA Log Message box. See Post Office Agent Error Messages in GroupWise 7 Troubleshooting 1: Error Messages.

POA Admin Thread Status Box

The POA admin thread updates the post office database (wphost.db) when users and/or user information are added, modified, or removed, and repairs it when damage is detected.

If a very large number of messages are received regularly, or if a user with a very large mailbox is moved to a different post office (requiring the user’s messages to be added into the new post office indexes), you might need to repeat this action multiple times in order to get all messages indexed. If too many repetitions are required to complete the indexing task, see Section 38.3.3, Customizing Indexing for assistance.

You can set up indexing to occur at regular intervals. See Section 38.3.1, Regulating Indexing.

If the indexing load on the POA is heavy, you can set up a separate POA just for indexing. See Section 38.3.2, Configuring a Dedicated Indexing POA.

POA Web Console You can update QuickFinder indexes from the Configuration page. Under the General Settings heading, click QuickFinder Indexing.

Compressing QuickFinder Indexes

QuickFinder indexes are automatically compressed at midnight each night to conserve disk space. You can start compression at any other time from the POA server console. For example, if you just imported and indexed a large number of documents and are running low on disk space, you could compress the indexes immediately, rather than waiting for it to happen at midnight.

To compress QuickFinder indexes for the post office:

  1. At the server where the POA is running, display the POA server console.

  2. Click Actions > QuickFinder > Compress Indexes.

    NetWare Note: Use Options (F10) > Actions > Compress QuickFinder Indexes.
