Adjusting the number of threads to improve performance during the synchronization process

This topic describes how to change the setting for the Nthread parameter in the lsservice.properties file. This setting controls the number of threads available to running security processes, including synchronization.

Most customers should be able to use a setting of 5 to start with. Although you may want to set this value higher, it should not be set higher than 10 threads. We have not seen large gains in performance over the value of 10. Infor does not recommend setting the number to higher than "25" as doing so might adversely affect performance. You might need to tweak the Nthread parameter until you find the optimized setting for your system.

  1. Open the configuration file LAWDIR/system/lsservice.properties in a text editor.
  2. Locate the following property in the file:

    Nthread=<value>

    where <value> is the number of threads you want to be available.

    Example:

    Nthread=5

  3. Save and close lsservice.properties when you are finished making the update.

    This update requires a system restart in order to take effect.
