SBL-SMI-00204: Internal: The maximum number of Work Queue threads (%1) cannot exceed the maximum number of concurrent tasks (%2)

This error is usually reported by Siebel server components that utilize worker queue threads to carry out its work such as Parallel Database Extract server component.

Cause

The cause is as indicated in the error message, when the component is configured in such a manner that the number of worker queue threads exceed the maximum number of concurrent tasks the above message is reported.

Diagnostic Steps

Check the settings for the following parameters for the above component:

Maximum Number of WorkQ Threads (MaxWorkQThreads)

Maximum Tasks (MaxTasks)

Maximum MT Servers (MaxMTServers)

Solution

Ensure that MaxWorkQThreads is not greater than the maximum number of concurrent tasks. The maximum number of concurrent tasks can be obtained by dividing MaxTasks with MaxMTServers (in other words, MaxTasks/ MaxMTServers). In the case of Parallel Database Extract users would need to add one additional task to the result obtained above since it has one ancillary task of its own.
