CLI: Concurrent Jobs
- Andrea Harvey
The CLI references “skysync.” This is expected.
Concurrent jobs is the number of transfers that will operate in parallel. The default number of concurrent jobs is 6; the maximum number of concurrent jobs is 20. It is very important to note that increasing the number of concurrent jobs does not always equal faster/better transfer performance. There is a long list of concepts that have to be taken into account.
Parameters
Updating the concurrent jobs setting is done using the following two parameters. At least one of the parameters must be used in update command, and the values must be greater than 0.
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
current | Current number of transfers that will operate in parallel |
max | Maximum number of transfers that will operate in parallel |
