Sample XI Production Tuning Parameters

The following is a list of the parameters and functions used to configure a production XI server. It's specific to 1 implementation so use this as a guideline to your implementation but not as the Bible. For example, the below settings remove messages after 30 days and your client may want them stored longer.
