562 Novell eDirectory 8.8 Administration Guidenovdocx (en) 11 July 2008The number of asynchronous requests can be set between 10 and 200. The default value is 100. Anyvalue less than the minimum value (10) would fallback to the default. The minimum value isappropriate for small LDIF files.In ideal scenarios, a higher window size ensures faster performance. However, the window sizemust not be set to arbitrarily high values because a larger window size requires the client to allocatemore memory to process the entries in the LDIF file. If the system is running low on memory, thiscan cause a slowdown due to swapping.You can modify the number of asynchronous requests in ICE using either the ICE command lineoption or iManager.Using ICE Command Line OptionThe number of asynchronous requests can be specified using the ICE command line option -Z. Thisis available as part of the LDAP destination handler.To set the number of asynchronous requests sent by the ICE client to 50, you would enter thefollowing command:ice -SLDIF -f LDIF_file -a -c -DLDAP -d cn=admin,o=novell -Z50 -w passwordUsing iManager ICE WizardTo set the number of asynchronous requests sent by the ICE client through iManager:1 Click the Roles and Tasks button Description: Roles Icon .2 Click eDirectory Maintenance > Import Convert Export Wizard.3 Type the value in the LBURP Window Size field in the LDAP Destination Handler screens inboth the Importing Data from a File and Migrating Data between LDAP Servers tasks.4 Click Next.For more information, refer to the help provided in the Wizard.18.5.4 Increased Number of LDAP Writer ThreadsThe LDAP server now has multiple writer threads. Use the -F ICE command line option forenabling forward referencing to avoid any possible errors due to concurrent processing as follows:ice -SLDIF -f LDIF_file -a -c -DLDAP -d cn=admin,o=novell -w password -F18.5.5 Disabling Schema Validation in ICEUse the -C and -n ICE command line options to disable schema validation at the ICE client asfollows:ice -C -n -SLDIF -f LDIF_file -a -c -DLDAP -d cn=admin,o=novell -w password
