Cannot change the value for "Resource Throttling" in SharePoint 2010

Question

Hi Guys,

I'm farm admin on a SharePoint 2010 farm and I tried to change the resouce throttle value from CA but it failed.
I tried to do it manually, I changed thev value, and saved it but when I opened the resource throttle again I saw the value had not changed whether I change to a higher or lower value.

I tried to run script in order to change the resource throttle value and the script ran successfuly but nothing changed.

Evrey time I do a change I ran iisreset and sometimes I restarted the server but still the same result.
I even created a new web application and tried to change the resource throttle value but nothing been changed.
Please check the attachment to see what I'm tring to edit. The SharePoint build is 14.0.4762.1000

Have you any idea why or how to resolve this issue?

Best regards

Ashraf

Hi @Ashraf El-Maadidi ,

Try to use the following PowerShell Command to set Resource Throttling:

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue  
  
Function Set-ResourceThrottling  
{  
param (  
[parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$WebAppURL,  
   
[parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$ListViewThreshold,  
   
[parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$ListViewThresholdForAdmins  
)  
   
$WebApp = Get-SPWebApplication $WebAppURL  
  
$WebApp.MaxItemsPerThrottledOperation = $ListViewThreshold  
  
$WebApp.MaxItemsPerThrottledOperationOverride = $ListViewThresholdForAdmins  
  
$WebApp.Update()  
   
Write-Host "Throttling settings has been updated on" $WebApp.URL  
}  
  
Set-ResourceThrottling "http://xxx/" "40000" "40000"   

If it is still not successfully set, please check your ULS Logs to verify whether there are any error messages in it.

Answer 2

I could not find any issue related to the resource throttling. I can find information about my last atempt to update the throttling which says:
The throttle limit is set to 200000 in the list throttling setting
The throttle limit override is set to 200000 in the list throttle setting.

Please check the log file in the attachment.
