Adjusting Import Parameters

The import parameters are properties of the specific back end (database) to which the data is imported. The following examples assume that data is being imported to the default userRoot back end. Use dsconfig to change the following properties:

• Number of import threads

• Queue size

To Adjust the Number of Import Threads

The higher the number of import threads, the faster the queued entries are processed. The default number of import threads is 8.

• To change the number of import threads, set the import-thread-count back-end property, as follows:

  $ dsconfig -D "cn=directory manager" -w password -n set-backend-prop \
    --backend-name userRoot --set import-thread-count:12

To Adjust the Queue Size

The longer the queue, the more threads can pick entries up and write them to intermediate files before committing to the database. The default queue size is 100.

• To change the queue size, set the import-queue-size back-end property, as follows:

  $ dsconfig -D "cn=directory manager" -w password -n set-backend-prop \
    --backend-name userRoot --set import-queue-size:200
