How to Configure the Maximum Number of Threads to Process Scan Files
This task describes how to configure the maximum number of processing threads to allocate to processing scan files in the XML Enricher service for all management zones.
Note This is a global parameter.
To configure the maximum number of threads to process scan files:
-
Prerequisites
Ensure that the Data Flow Probe is running.
-
Open the file
Open <Probe installation folder>\conf\enricher.properties file using any text editor.
where <Probe installation folder> is where you installed the Data Flow Probe.
-
Set a value for the maximum number of threads
Locate the parameter max_enricher_thread_number= and set a value.
- Default: 2
-
One thread is used initially. Then the number gradually increases by 1, depending on load conditions.
The increase in the maximum number of threads needs to be done in concert with increasing the amount of memory for the XML Enricher. For details about this parameter, see How to Configure XML Enricher to Suit the Probe Deployment Mode.
-
Restart the Data Flow Probe
Restart the Data Flow Probe service.
-
Results
- Navigate to <DataFlowProbe>\runtime\xmlenricher\scans\incoming and analyze whether the scan file processing has increased to an acceptable level. If not, consider increasing the value that you set in step 3.
- Verify the number of threads that the XML Enricher service is using. For more information, see How to Configure XML Enricher to Suit the Probe Deployment Mode.
