Create/Edit Generic Thread Pools

The Thread Pools Page allows you to add thread pools in addition to the native thread pool. Use these pools for a variety of purposes such as limiting a certain service to a specific number of concurrent threads.

The following table describes the fields and buttons on the page. The left column lists the fields and buttons; the right column describes the functionality.

Field or Button
Description

Name of Pool

The name of the thread pool you are adding.

Minimum Threads

Determines the minimum number of threads in the pool.

Maximum Threads

Determines the maximum number of threads in the pool. If you specify 1, you emulate single-threaded behavior.

Queue Size

Determines the number of threads that can wait in the queue for the thread pool. If all threads in the pool are busy, the next request-handling thread that tries to get in the queue is rejected, with the result that it returns a busy response to the client. It is then free to handle another incoming request instead of being tied up waiting in the queue.

Stack Size (bytes)

Determines the stack size of each thread in the pool. The minimum value you can enter is 65536. Entering 0 specifies the default stack size for the operating system

OK

Saves your entries.

Reset

Resets the values on the page to the default values.

Current Thread Pools

Lists the current thread pools. To modify a thread pool, click Edit in the thread pool row. To delete a thread pool, click Remove in the thread pool row.
