        Server

      Default:
        None, although if this Variable is omitted, only a single Update task can run at a time

      UI equivalent:
        None, although you can specify this Variable in the NOTES.INI Settings tab of the Configuration Settings document in the Domino Directory.

      Description:
      Specifies the number of Update server tasks that can run concurrently on the server. You must shut down and restart the server for this Variable to take effect.

      The Update task is designed to run in the background and is intended to improve response time and performance by ensuring that when a user opens a database view, the user does not have to wait for it to be indexed.

      Note: Do not remove the Update task from a server. If you do so, the Public Address Book will not be updated.

      To improve view-indexing performance, you can run multiple Update tasks if your server has adequate CPU power. Doing this can affect server performance and is recommended primarily for multiprocessor machines. On a server with multiple processors, enable a maximum of one Update task per processor

      This is done within the notes.ini file by adding the line:

      Updaters = [number of processors]
