You can block or unblock requests to a portlet. Usually
you do this with portlets that portlet load monitoring monitors. You
can also check whether requests to a portlet have been blocked or
whether the portlet can receive requests.
Portlets that
portlet load monitoring monitors
show an icon for blocking or unblocking requests to the portlet. Depending
on whether requests have been blocked for a portlet, Manage Portlets
can also show the status for such a portlet in the status column.
- Unblocked
- This portlet is enabled to receive requests. To block requests
to the portlet, click the icon. On the confirmation prompt click OK.
- Blocked
- This portlet is blocked for requests. It has either been blocked
by portlet load monitoring, or an
administrator has blocked it manually, depending on what the status
column shows:
- Exceeded limit
- Portlet load monitoring has blocked
requests to the portlet.
- Admin blocked
- An administrator has blocked requests to the portlet.
Notes: - If portlet load monitoring blocked
this portlet from requests for exceeding the maximum number of concurrent
requests and the number of requests did not decrease and you did not
set the value for maximum number of requests to a higher value, clicking
this icon has no effect. In this case, the portlet is blocked again
with the next request that arrives for this portlet.
- Activating a blocked portlet clears the response times stored
for this portlet.
