Maximum Service Processes =
number
Specify the maximum number of service processes that the
operating system can create. (View the number of service
processes in MONITOR.)
Supported values: 5 to 1000
Default: 40
Decrease this parameter temporarily if the server is low on
memory. If the server is always low on memory, add more RAM
for memory.
Increase this parameter if the number of service processes is at
the maximum.
Increasing this number helps only if more than 20 requests are
being delayed simultaneously for a disk I/O to be completed.
Minimum Service Processes =
number
Specify the minimum number of service processes the operating
system can create without having to wait for the time that is
specified by the New Service Process Wait Time parameter to
elapse.
Supported values: 10 to 500
Default: 10
Global Pseudo Preemption = value Specify whether or not all threads on the server that use the
Traditional File System will also use pseudo preemption.
Supported values: ON, OFF
Default: ON
Set this parameter to ON if you rely on pseudo preemption to
enforce blocking for threads.
Pseudo Preemption Count = number Specify the number of times threads are allowed to make file read
or write system calls before a relinquish is forced.
Supported values: 1 to 4294967295
Default: 40
If you increase the value too much, the thread could run for its
lifetime.
If you decrease the value too much, every read or write call that
normally would not block might, in fact, end up blocking.
