Task Manager shows large number of postgres.exe processes on the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows server

Having many such processes is not uncommon and not considered an issue per se.

If you are looking into optimising general Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows performance, please see Optimizing Performance for Qlik Sense Enterprise.

Environment:

PostgreSQL uses a multi-process architecture. In an empty system you will see anything from two to five processes. Once clients start to connect, the number of processes will increase.

The idea behind this is to prevent one crashing thread from being able to take the entire application with it.

Hi,

we added 120 possible connections to the PostgreSQL settings and increased the shared buffer (the exact opposite of that suggests a QlikTech guide)
