Language / Control CPU usage pxplus.exe or switch to another CPU-Core
« on: January 21, 2020, 05:22:45 AM »
Hi All,
I am wondering if somebody knows how to influence the % of CPU time when running a pxplus.exe on a Windows 2012 R2 server with 4 cores. When running a long and heavy duty process with many reads & writes, you normally want as much power as available to get the job done as quickly as possible. When doing so I notice an almost constant 25% load of the CPU due to the 4 cores.
When starting simultaneously a new pxplus.exe (version 12.50 btw) it will almost get no CPU-time. PxPlus will not use another core and must "wait" on the initial process to finish. When multiple customers start a large job, the whole server might get clogged up and you even might run out of licenses.
So, for now, the only thing I can think of is setting the priority to 'below normal' or even to 'low' in the Windows TaskManager. This results in having at least some percentages free for other pxplus-commands.
Any idea how to fix this issue?
