You can configure general behavior of the Event System, for example threads and thread timeouts, in the Content Manager configuration file, Tridion.ContentManager.config. ()
Procedure
- Navigate to
%TRIDION_HOME%.
- Open Tridion.ContentManager.config in a text editor.
- You can configure the behavior of the Event System by adjusting the following attribute values in the
<eventSystem> element:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|
maxThreadCount | The maximum number of Event System threads running at any one time. Initially set to 5. |
threadTimeout | Amount of time, in seconds, after which an unresponsive thread times out. Initially set to 30. |
threadNamePrefix | Do not change this value unless you have a pressing reason to do so (for example, if you have other threads that use the same prefix). Initially set to "EventSystem". |
Only change the maxThreadCount and threadTimeout values if you are experiencing problems with your Event System implementation. In general, keep both values as low as possible.
- Save and close Tridion.ContentManager.config.
- To apply your changes, restart
TcmServiceHost and, if the event you enabled has a dependency on the Publisher service, TcmPublisher as well.
