Configuring the number of threads for consistency checks

Using a larger number of threads for consistency checks can help performance as long as your server can process the threads. Guidewire recommends starting with five threads. If you use too many threads, there is a greater chance that current users can experience reduced performance if the database operates with a full load.

It is possible to set the number of threads to use for each consistency check in several different ways, depending on how you configure the consistency checks to run. The following table outlines these differences.
