SERVERTHREADS

SERVERTHREADS overrides the default value for the number of threads the Server Application may spawn. The default value is defined by the number of licensed ports. Use this setting to make the maximum number of threads higher than the default value. See Notes.

Syntax

SERVERTHREADS n

n The number of threads the Server Application may produce.
Specify an integer between 20 and 500, inclusive. If you use the .CFG setting to specify a number lower than 20, it is interpreted as 20. If you use the .CFG setting to specify a number higher than 500, it is interpreted as 500.
Important: see Notes.

Description

SERVERTHREADS overrides the default value for the number of threads the Hyperion Essbase Server may spawn.

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

Example

SERVERTHREADS 25

Notes

The default value of SERVERTHREADS depends on the number of available ports on the server. Note that one additional port is available for the system administrator, so that for 5 licensed ports, 6 available ports are shown when you type PORTS in the Agent window.

Number of licensed ports Default number of threads

5 or fewer 5

6 - 11 10

11 or more 20

Although 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, check with your system administrator, as higher values can significantly consume system resources.
