WBSP-AS-001590 - The WebSphere Application Server thread pool size must be defined according to application load requirements

Information

A thread pool enables components of the application server to reuse threads, which eliminates the need to create new threads at run time. Creating new threads expends system resources and can possibly lead to a DoS. Perform loading for your application to determine the required thread pool sizes.

Solution

Perform loading for your application to determine the required thread pool sizes.

To set thread pool size:
From the admin console >> Servers >> all servers >> [server name] >> Additional Properties >> Select Thread Pools.

Set the thread pool size for each threadpool.
