The maxworker parameter defines the
maximum number of parallel ECI, ESI, and EPI requests
that CICS® Transaction Gateway
can process.
maxworker=<number>- Description
- Set the value in the range 1-1,000,000 to specify the maximum
number of worker threads. You might
need to set the value of maxworker to less than the
supported maximum value because of constraints on memory or other
system resources. You can specify that there is no limit to the number
of worker threads by setting the value of maxworker to
-1. For more information about threading limits,
see Threading model.
You can use the -maxworker option
to override the value of the maxworker parameter.
For more information, for Windows see, ctgservice command reference, and for UNIX and Linux see, ctgstart command reference.
