2.2.2 Determining the number of Processing Threads

OHI Components make use of Work Managers in order to control the amount of processing threads. The size of the thread pool can be influenced through the Work Manager configuration that is accessible via the WebLogic Console. As a rule of thumb, the following recommendations may be used as a starting point:

• For WebLogic Managed Server instances that service User Interface and Web Service requests and that process tasks or activities, the recommended value of the Maximum Threads Constraint for the Core Work Manager is equal to the number of CPU cores that is available to the managed server.
• For specialized Managed Server instances that only process tasks or activities (i.e. no User Interface and Web Service requests are directed to it) the recommended value of the Maximum Threads Constraint for the Core Work Manager is equal to the number of CPU cores that is available to the managed server times two.
