Change default configuration values for triggers

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

To change default configuration values for triggers

  1. Open Computer Management.

  2. In the console tree, click to expand Message Queuing, and then right-click Triggers.

    Where?

    • Computer Management/Services and Applications/Message Queuing/Triggers
  3. Click Properties, and then change the values in Initial number of threads, Max number of threads, and Default message body size as needed.

Notes

  • To open Computer Management, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.

  • All configuration information as well as trigger and rule definitions are stored in the local registry.

  • The Default message body value is the size of the buffer that the Message Queuing Triggers service will allocate for an incoming message. It is recommended that this value be set equal to a size that will accommodate 90% of all messages that are expected to arrive in monitored queues. If this value is set too small, it will force the service to reallocate these buffers for every message. If it is set too large, an excessive amount of memory will be allocated.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
