When priming or reloading a global index based on a Sun Directory Server environment, the Sun
servers may become overwhelmed and unresponsive because of their method of streaming data. To
reduce the impact of priming on these server, you can use the
prime-search-entry-per-second
property. To reduce the impact of reloading these
indexes, use the --searchEntryPerSecond
property of the
reload-index
command. These properties control the rate at which the Directory Proxy Server accepts search result entries from the backend directory servers.
The index-priming-idle-listener-timeout
property specifies the amount of
time an extended operation response listener can be idle while the global index priming is
in progress. For example, if the global index is priming and a backend server stops
returning results but does not disconnect, this timeout can be used to force a retry of the
operation.
To find the optimum rate, start low and specify a few thousand search entries per second. Then increase as necessary.
