Tuning the content subsystem

You can tune the content subsystem to optimize the processing of document content.

Content transactions
The content storage background task is responsible for adding document content to storage areas in response to client requests. In particular, guaranteeing the transactional integrity of content upload and storage is one of the primary functions of the background task. The background task operates within the context of server hierarchy levels and so can be tuned for the local environment in which it is running.
Work and wait intervals
The primary purpose of the Maximum lease interval property is to specify the maximum interval for a worker thread to process a batch. A batch is processed during a dispatcher processing run as part of the process for adding content to a storage area. If a worker thread fails to complete a batch within the allowed time, the dispatcher reassigns the batch to another worker thread. This time limit ensures that any abnormal termination of a worker thread does not prevent a batch from being processed. This property also specifies the maximum time for the dispatcher wait interval: the interval between the end of a dispatcher processing run and the beginning of the next run. The minimum time for the dispatcher wait interval is specified by the Minimum wait interval property.
