Job Processor Optimizing Number of Threads to Process

The recommended starting point when updating the threads for each Job Processor is as follows: As a rule of thumb starting point, the total number of threads below should be 2-3 times the number of logical cores on the JP machine. For example, if the machine runs a quad-core processor and has hyperthreading or similar technology enabled, you might start with a total of 2-3 x (4 x 2) = 16-24 threads. If hyperthreading is unavailable or disabled, then you might start with a total of 2-3 x 4 = 8-12 threads.

This number is just a starting point, and will vary depending on number of different kinds of files, their sizes, file I/O bandwith and the variability of the load on the JP.

Doc can be set to a 2 and only on the Job Processor that has Office installed. If Office is installed on only one Job Processor, then the PRQ and DOC threads must be set to zero on the server without Office. PRQ is used for unidentified files and an Office file will be unidentified without Office present.
