AGENTTHREADS

AGENTTHREADS specifies how many threads the Server Agent may spawn.

AGENTTHREADS n

n The number of threads the Server Agent may produce. n is an integer between 2 and 500, inclusive.
The default value is 5. It is strongly recommended that you use this default value. See Notes below.

Description

AGENTTHREADS specifies how many threads the Server Agent may spawn.

When a transaction is requested, the Server Agent assigns a thread to the transaction and releases the thread when the transaction is complete.

Example

AGENTTHREADS 15

Notes

While the actual maximum value you can set is 500, the maximum number of threads an operating system can handle might be much lower. It is strongly recommended that you use the default value.
If you want to set this parameter to a value higher than the default (5), check with your system administrator, as higher values can significantly consume system resources.
If you choose a number less than 2, over 500, or a decimal value, Hyperion Essbase overrides the value with a closely approximate value of its own.
One thread is required for each transaction.
