Update the "Max Number Concurrent Jobs" Field

If the "Max number concurrent jobs" configuration variable is changed, it is necessary to remove the LSAM's checkpoint files and tracking file before restarting the LSAM. Refer to MCP Known Issues concerning a Known Issue about the "Max number concurrent jobs" field and startup errors.

Remove Checkpoint and Tracking Files​

  2. Stop the LSAM. For instructions on stopping the LSAM, refer to Stop the LSAM.
  3. Modify the configuration file to reflect the desired "Max number of concurrent jobs." For more information on configuration, refer to Max number concurrent jobs.
