39.1 Controlling Thread Usage

By default, the DVA starts 5 worker threads for converting attached document files into HTML format. Each worker thread starts its separate worker process and monitors its running during the duration of the DVA operation. It adds threads as demand for document file conversion increases. By default, the DVA can start a maximum of 20 worker threads.

  1. Open the DVA file in a text editor.

  2. To set the initial number of worker threads to start:

    1. Search to find the following switch:

      /httpthread

    2. Remove the semicolon (;) to activate the setting.

    3. Specify the maximum number of worker threads that you want to the DVA to start automatically.

  3. To set the maximum number of worker threads:

    1. Search to find the following switch:

      /httpmaxthread

    2. Skip to Putting DVA Configuration Changes into Effect.

    3. Specify the maximum number of worker threads that the DVA is allowed to start.

      You can increase the maximum number of worker threads to allow the DVA to use more server resources, or you can decrease the maximum number of worker threads to cause the DVA to use fewer server resources.

  4. Save the DVA file.
