Maximum number of worker threads

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.

This parameter is in the GATEWAY section of the configuration file.

Default value
If this parameter is not specified, the default value is 100.
Configuration Tool
In the Configuration Tool, you can set the value of maxworker in the Maximum number of Worker threads field in the Resources tab of the Gateway daemon settings page. You can also set the value of maxworker to -1 by selecting the Unrestricted check box associated with the Maximum number of Worker threads field.
