Overriding the maximum active threads setting

The Max Action Threads setting can be overridden with a configuration parameter for special cases or exceptions. For example, additional threads could be specified for Payroll processes that are time sensitive and have a limited run-time window.

If you receive the error message Number Of Threads cannot exceed: ##, the MaxActionThreads setting may be limiting the NumberOfThreads on Action Configuration. If the situation warrants an override of MaxActionThreads, follow these instructions to create or update the HCM_MaxActionThreads configuration parameter.

  1. Select Administration Console > Configuration Parameters .
  2. Select the Create action.
