For static specification, this parameter is available as a keyword
subparameter of the NTRPC
macro. For dynamic specification, this parameter is available as a keyword
subparameter of the profile parameter RPC.
NTASKS=(min[,max])
specifies the minimum number min of
server tasks to be started during server initialization and the maximum number
max of server tasks that max be active at any time.
If only min is specified, the paranetheses may be
omitted.
If the server has to handle a large number of client requests, you can use this subparameter to improve the throughput by starting multiple (identically named) replicas of the same server task.
NTASKS applies only to servers started in batch
mode under z/OS or VSE and to servers started by an RPC server front-end.
The maximum number max of server tasks applies only to servers started by an RPC server front-end.
| Possible values: | min | Minimum number of server tasks to be started during server
intialization: 1 - 99.
|
|---|---|---|
| max | Maximum number of server tasks that may be active at any time:
0 - n 0 = unlimited. |
|
| Default value: | 1,0 |
|
| Dynamic specification | yes | |
| Specification within session | no |
