Configuring Parallel Pagelet Loading

You can use the parallelLoading property in the configuration.properties file to control how your portal loads pagelets. Pagelets can be loaded sequentially or in parallel.

Loading pagelets sequentially refers to a single-threaded process, downloading multiple pagelets one at a time. Loading pagelets in parallel refers a multi-threaded process where multiple pagelets can be loaded at the same time. To enable parallel pagelet loading, set the parallelLoading property to true.

For example:

parallelLoading=true

To disable parallel loading of pagelets, set the parallelLoading property to false.

Pagelets with global variables cannot be loaded in parallel; such pagelets can only be loaded sequentially. If you have set the parallelLoading property to true and if any of the pagelets contain global variables, you must mark the pagelet with a content reference attribute BGLOBALVALUES set to true. When the pagelet using global variable is marked with the content reference attribute BGLOBALVALUES set to true, then the pagelet will be loaded sequentially and other pagelets will be loaded in parallel. For example, if the pagelet with global variables is part of a Dashboard or WorkCenter, then the pagelet marked with BGLOBALVALUES will be loaded sequentially and other pagelets within the Dashboard or WorkCenter will be loaded in parallel.
