PLBWEB_MAX_TASKS Keyword

     PLBWEB_MAX_TASKS={count}

This optional keyword limits the number of simultaneous client users that can access the server.

Note that the current authorization number used by the Plbwebsrv task identifies the maximum number of clients that can logon. This keyword further limits the clients for some situations.

By default, the PL/B Web Server supports up to 2,000 concurrent child tasks that exist in an 'active', 'idle', or 'suspended' state. This keyword can be used in the 'plbwebsrv.ini' file to configure the current maximum child tasks allowed.

If this keyword is used, the {count} value cannot be less than the number of authorized licensed users being used for the PWS server.

Note:

1.   One reason for using this keyword is to restrict the total number of child tasks because the system executing the PWS server has limited OS resources.

2.   Changes to this keyword ONLY take affect when the PWS server is restarted to allocate and initialize global OS resources.
