to NSJSP through TS/MP and there will not be any file system call. After the 25 requests are
serviced, subsequent requests on those 25 web dialogs are delivered to NSJSP through file system
I/O operations.

At this stage, all 25 links to the NSJSP instance are free to process more incoming requests
delivered through TS/MP. Therefore, the NSJSP instance should now be able to handle 25 more
concurrent requests all being the first requests of web dialogs. After these 25 requests are
processed, the subsequent requests on these new connections arrive at NSJSP through the file
system I/O. At this stage, NSJSP could be handling up to 50 concurrent requests and all these
requests are being delivered through file system calls from

httpd

, not through TS/MP. Hence,

the 25 links are free to process new web dialogs. Therefore, a single instance of NSJSP can serve
all the 100 requests.

At this point, one instance of NSJSP could be processing requests from all the possible 100
connections to the

httpd

processes. This means that there could be a scenario where all the 100

requests time out. Therefore, there must be enough space in the

$RECEIVE

file to handle (100+100)

messages. That would mean

TANDEM_RECEIVE_DEPTH

should have a value of 200. The reason

for setting

TANDEM_RECEIVE_DEPTH

to a value of 200 can be explained as:

To handle 100 requests, you need 100 threads. In an extreme case of all the 100 requests timing
out, you need another 100 threads to process the new incoming 100 requests because the threads
processing the timeout requests could still be busy. Therefore, the number of threads that need
to be configured is (100+100 = 200).

Configuring Java Runtime Arguments

The configurations for Java runtime arguments can be written in the

<iTP WebServer

deployment directory>/conf/servlet.config

file on OSS. The

sscaux

object is

configured under the

Server

directive. Java runtime arguments are populated in the

Arglist

.

Some of the important Java runtime arguments that you must consider during the deployment
of your Spring applications are:

-Xmx

-Xss

-Xnoclassgc

There are other Java runtime arguments supported by NSJSP. For more information, see the
NonStop Servlets for JavaServer Pages (NSJSP) 6.0 System Administrator's Guide.

-Xmx

Sets the maximum size of the memory allocation pool, which is the garbage collected heap.

Syntax:

-Xmx maximum-heap-size [ k | m ]

where,

maximum-heap-size

is the maximum size of the memory allocated for the garbage collected.

It must be greater than or equal to 1000 bytes.

k

sets the value of

maximum-heap-size

to be read in kilobytes.

m

sets the value of

maximum-heap-size

to be read in megabytes.

-Xss

Sets the maximum stack size that can be used by a Java thread.

Syntax:

-Xmx maximum-stack-size

where,

maximum-stack-size

is the maximum size of the stack trace in kilobytes.
