Environments with many workspaces

If you are planning to setup an environment with more than 5000 workspaces, it is advisable to switch to a search based aggregation mode due to the default list view threshold.

Furthermore it is recommended to avoid the workspace list entirely, to reduce query time when accessing the current workspace (MatchPoint needs to access the ListItem in the large list, which induces a significant performenace drop). This can be done by switching to the decentralized workspace mode; i.e. store the workspace item within the workspace web. Note, that this requires a search-based aggregation of workspaces.

To switch to this mode, all you have to do is to set the ListLocationExpression in the workspace template to null. Existing workspaces can be migrated to the new concept by updating the workspace.

This process can be automized by using the MatchPoint CmdLet Enable-MPWorkspaceItemInWebMode. This CmdLet expects the following parameters:

• WebApp
• WorkspaceTemplateconfiguration

and has the optional parameter MigrateExistingWorkspaces to move workspace items of existing items. If this flag is specified, make sure to provide the WorkspaceListUrl of the list containing the workspaces that have to be migrated.
