Managing Asynchronous Web Agents in Domino

Introduction to multithreading and synchronization in LotusScript
LotusScript is thread safe; multiple LotusScript Web agents can run concurrently within the Domino server.

Advantages of thread-safe agents
Threading offers the following advantages over serial agents:

Synchronization functions
LotusScript 4.0 (in Domino 5.0) includes a new set of primitives to allow LotusScript agents to synchronize with one another:

How synchronization works
Synchronization involves sharing a single CPU among multiple tasks (or threads) in a way designed to minimize the time required to switch threads. On a thread-enabled server, agents take turns performing their tasks, which saves time and gives the illusion of the tasks occuring at the same time.

Running asynchronous agents on the Domino server
To enable multiprocessing agents on the server:
