Setting Maximum Threads on an Execution Server

To make sure that an execution server delivers accurate monitoring results, you must ensure that the network connection is not overloaded with internal traffic.

To set the maximum threads on an execution server:

  1. Stop the execution server. For additional information, see Starting or Stopping Individual Performance Manager Services.
  2. Open the SccExecServerBootConf.xml file with a text editor. This file is located in the /conf/execserver folder of the Performance Manager directory on an execution server.
  3. Locate the <MaxThreads> tag in the <Scheduler> section of the file.
  4. Set the value to the maximum number of monitors you want the execution server to handle simultaneously. If the execution server receives more than the defined number of monitors, they will be queued to be executed as soon as resources become available.
  5. Save the file and restart the execution server service. For additional information, see Starting or Stopping Individual Performance Manager Services.
