STP SmartThreadPool Thread# ThreadCounter > MaxThreads Settings #31

Closed vnayak-mdsol closed 2 years ago

vnayak-mdsol commented 2 years ago

Our MaxThreads settings is set to 20. However I see that the Thread Name [STP SmartThreadPool Thread#] increase over time and is currently at STP SmartThreadPool Thread #62 We've noticed this only in our test environments.

Can you please explain under what circumstances can the ThreadCounter number be greater than the MaxThreads settings?

Hi,

You are referrung to the name of the thread. Each thread is created with a name suffixed with an incrementing counter. Threads are created and terminated as time passes and the names are not reused, so you might have a thread named Thread #1001. However, as long as the number of activate threads in an STP instance is not greater than the MaxThreads in the settings, you are ok.

Regards, Ami
