The MobiLink server monitors performance and automatically adjusts the number of database worker threads as necessary. The
MobiLink server uses any value between the initial value, set with the -w option, and the maximum value, set with the -wm
option.
This feature allows deployments to achieve better throughput with less load testing. Given a wide enough range between -w
and -wm, MobiLink server automatically finds the number of database worker threads providing the best throughput. However,
the heuristic used to adjust the number of database worker threads may not work well in all cases. Also, the best throughput
may lie outside the limits set by -w and -wm. Only deployment-specific load testing can truly establish the number of database
worker threads to provide maximum throughput.
If this value is not set, the maximum number of database worker threads default to the value set in the -w option. When the
-wm option is not used, the number of database worker threads is fixed at the -w value, and the MobiLink server does not automatically
adjust them.
