DISCUSSION
The advanced property sets the processor affinity mask for de/compression threads. This is used to isolate de/compress threads to a subset of available processors in cases where CPU bandwidth is limited.
In some cases, de/compression COM errors have been observed when setting this AdvancedProperty.
Add the name:value pair below to the AdvancedProperties.JSON file in the \ProgramData\ folder for EFT (for example, C:\ProgramData\Globalscape\EFT Server):
{
"CompressActionProcessorAffinityMask":"0x55555555"
}
An example value is (HEX) "0x55555555" -- an alternating sequence of 0 and 1 bits to limit de/compress activity to half of the available processors, leaving the remaining processors to handle other activities.
