Serial Recycle

When serial recycling is enabled for a server process, the system recycles server processes of that type within a domain on a serial basis–one after another–to allow processing to continue uninterrupted. By default, the domain behavior reflects Serial Recycle=Y (enabled).

When Serial Recycle=Y for PSAPPSRV, for example, then only one PSAPPSRV process will recycle during the recycle time of 60 seconds when the Recycle Count limit is reached. Then the next PSAPPSRV will recycle.

When serial recycling is not enabled, all the server processes of that type recycle simultaneously when the Recycle Count limit is reached, which can cause throughput to pause.

Serial recycling applies to these server process types: PSAPPSRV, PSQCKSRV, PSQRYSRV, and the Integration Broker server processes.

To disable serial recycling, manually add the Serial Recycle parameter, and assign the value N. For example:

Serial Recycle=N

The recycle time is 60 seconds.
