How to change the number of simultaneous threads during migration?

How to increase the number of migrating subscriptions.

Answer

By default, Plesk migrates by a bunch of 10 subscriptions and this parameter cannot be changed.
However, it possible to change the number of simultaneous threads during migration and increase the number of migrating subscriptions.

Warning: Increasing the number of threads may cause unpredictable issues on the source server and it is strongly not recommended.

To change the number of simultaneous threads do the following:

  1. Start the migration via GUI;
  2. After preparing the migration, when the list of subscriptions is displayed:
    1. Connect to the target server via SSH;

      Note: if direct SSH access to the server is not possible, contact server administrator for further assistance.

    2. Open /usr/local/psa/var/modules/panel-migrator/sessions/<timestamp>/config.ini file in a text editor.
    3. Add the following records in the bottom of [GLOBAL] section and save the file, for example, to set the number of threads equal to 3:

      CONFIG_TEXT: [GLOBAL]
      multithreading-status: full
      multithreading-num-workers: 3

  3. Continue the migration via GUI.

    Hello Luis,

    Nope, for backup it is under Tools & Settings > Backup Manager > Settings > Maximum number of simultaneously running scheduled backup processes
