The POA by default performs a certain amount of database maintenance. In addition, you can create your own customized maintenance events as described in Scheduling Database Maintenance and Scheduling Disk Space Management.
By default, the POA starts one thread to handle all POA scheduled events and also all usage of the Mailbox/Library Maintenance tool in the GroupWise Administration Console.
To adjust the number of POA database maintenance handler threads:
In the GroupWise Administration Console, browse to and click the POA.
Click the Maintenance tab.
Increase the number in the Maintenance Handler Threads field.
Click Save, and then click Close to return to the main Administration Console window.
Corresponding Startup Switches: You can also use the ‑‑gwchkthreads switch in the POA startup file to increase the number of POA threads started for database maintenance activities.
POA Console: The Status page helps you assess whether the POA is currently meeting the database maintenance needs of the post office. Under the Thread Status heading, click GWCheck Worker Threads to display the workload and status of the database maintenance handler threads.
If the POA console is password protected as described in Configuring the POA Console, you can change the number of database maintenance handler threads on the Configuration page. Under Performance Settings, click Maximum GWCheck Worker Threads.
