DB2 OLAP Server Installation Guide

Optimizing network throughput on Windows NT

On Windows NT servers, a network setting enables you to optimize the performance of networked applications. DB2 OLAP Server performance improves significantly on Windows NT with this setting enabled.

On Windows 2000, the default system setting is to optimize performance for networked applications. It is not necessary to change this setting.

To enable the Maximize Throughput for Network Applications setting:

1. Exit DB2 OLAP Server.
2. Start the Windows NT Control Panel.
3. Double-click the Network icon.
4. Select the Services tab.
5. In the Network Services list box, double-click Server Services. The Server dialog box is displayed. If a message is displayed on your screen indicating that you cannot configure the software component, then your Windows NT computer is probably a Windows NT Workstation configuration, not a Windows NT server configuration, and you cannot change the network settings.
6. Select Maximize Throughput for Network Applications.
7. Click OK. The Services tab of the Network dialog box is displayed.
8. Click Close.
9. Restart Windows NT.
