We have a number of large DA export jobs to run (30,000 ? 50,000) messages. Our only option is to export to a PST file (i.e. not to HTML or MSG formats). DA 5.0 SP4 claims to have improved DA Export performance to PST files so that a rate of up to 50,000 messages per hour can be achieved.
Here are some details on our environment:
-A quad-CPU server with 4GB memory, running typically less than 10% CPU utilization.
-All storage is fiber-attached SAN
-No disk space issues
-SQL server is not over-utilized
-LAN is 100mb switched network
The best throughput I have been able to achieve is 2,000 messages per hour. What throughputs are other installations observing? Thanks in advance for your feedback.
