Control the Number of Worker Threads

Control the number of worker threads available to the global task manager which can then assign the threads to process tasks scheduled by SAP Replication Server modules.

When SAP Replication Server starts, it creates a global task manager that creates the number of worker threads you can set with the worker_thread_num parameter at the server level for all connections. The global task manager makes the threads available for tasks scheduled by modules such as distributed application of transactions in DSI and parallel processing in DIST.

Tune the value of worker_thread_num only when you enable parameters that use worker threads such as when you enable distributed application of transactions in DSI or parallel processing in DIST.

In the Administration Guide Volume 2, see Control the Number of Worker Threads for tuning recommendations and Setting the Number of Worker Threads to configure worker_thread_num.
