A specific low priority thread is used for each database, which guarantees other
tasks (e.g. e-mail messages storage in the Microsoft Exchange database) are
always carried out preferentially.
·
Proactive Scan (incoming messages)
You can enable or disable the proactive scanning function of VSAPI 2.0/2.5 here.
This scanning occurs when an item is delivered to a folder, but a request has not
been made by a client.
As soon as messages are submitted to the Exchange store, they enter the global
scanning queue as low priority (maximum of 30 items). They are scanned on the
first in, first out (FIFO) basis. If an item is accessed while still in the queue, it is
changed to high priority.
Note:
Overflow messages will continue to the store unscanned.
Note:
Even if you disable both
Background Scan
and
Proactive Scan
options, the on
access scanner will be still active when an user will try to download a message with
the MS Outlook client.
·
Scan RTF
-
you can specify here, whether the RTF file type should be scanned
or not.
·
Number of Scanning Threads
-
the scanning process is threaded by default to
increase the overall scanning performance by a certain level of parallelism. You
can change the threads count here.
The default number of threads is computed as 2 times the
‘number_of_processors’ + 1.
The minimum number of threads is computed as ('number of processors'+1)
divided by 2.
The maximum number of threads is computed as 'Number of Processors' multiplied
by 5 + 1.
If the value is set to lower than the minimum value or to greater than the
maximum value, the default value is used.
·
Scan Timeout
- the maximum continuous interval (in seconds) for one thread to
access the message that is being scanned (the default value is 180 seconds).
