Configure the maximum number of mentors assigned to each user
The maximum number of mentors parameter specifies the maximum number of mentors to be assigned to each user. The number of actual mentors can be less than the maximum setting but never greater than the value specified. By default, the value is 50. To configure the number of mentors assigned to a user:
- Stop the LikeMinds server inside the WebSphere Application Server.
- Use any database modification tool to connect to the database, and to enter the following SQL statement:
update lps_cfg set value='75' where name='xactionMentor.max_mentors'
Note: For best results, use a value between 50-100. The more final mentors that are used to make recommendations, the more likely it is that recommendations will come from mentors selected for their coverage contribution. In order to allow the LikeMinds server to select the most reliable mentors and hence return the most accurate recommendations, carefully balance the size of the mentor pool with the maximum number of mentors configured for your system.
