What can I do with this system value?
You can specify the number of threads that can compete at the same time for memory and processor resources. For all active subsystems, the sum of all threads running in all memory pools cannot exceed the value you specify. If a thread cannot be processed because the activity level has been reached, the thread waits until another thread reaches a time slice or a long wait.
This system value has the following values:
- No maximum (*NOMAX)
- This is the suggested setting.
- 1-32767
- Specify the maximum number of eligible threads.
