Sametime 7.0 Initialization workload

The IBM® Sametime® 7.0 Initialization workload populates the buddy list storage database (VPUSERINFO.NSF) on the server for each test user.

About this task

The limitation for the workload is the total population divided into groups of "N" users, where "N" is the number of users initialized on a particular driver. The values for the NOTES.INI settings ST.bl.beginuser.number and ST.bl.enduser.number will vary accordingly on each client driver, for example, 1-1000,1001-2000, etc.

ST70Init Workload considerations are as follows:

  • Pause 4-16 minutes
  • Log in
  • Pause 2-8 minutes
  • Initialize the Buddy list by using the following NOTES.INI variables:
    • ST.bl.size.quan= -- The number of users to add to each buddy list
    • ST.bl.beginuser.number= -- The starting mail* number for adding to the buddy list
    • ST.bl.enduser.number= -- The ending mail* number for adding to the buddy list
  • Log Out

All of the NOTES.INI variables required by the Sametime workloads are detailed in the topic, The Sametime Workloads.
