Number of processes per system (MAXPROCSYS)

Specify the maximum number of UNIX processes that the system will allow.

If you have medium-to-heavy TCP/IP usage, use the "Guide Me" button.

If you are using a basic TCP/IP configuration, use the following method for calculating this maximum number.

	
 
	Take 4*MAXUIDS and add 100 for a basic TCP/IP configuration. 
 
For example, if you used the default value of 200 for MAXUIDS, the recommended default for MAXPROCSYS is 900.

Effect on System: Most processes use an entire address space. Increasing the MAXPROCSYS value increases the usage of ECSA and ESQA storage on the system. Do not specify a higher value for MAXPROCSYS than your system environment can support. If you set the value too high, failures (EAGAIN) for fork or spawn might occur, because WLM could not provide enough fork initiators.

Default : 900

Range: 5 - 32767
