SSAS

Description

Analysis Services uses multi-threading for many operations, improving overall server performance by running multiple jobs in parallel. A long parsing thread is a parsing pool for all requests that do not fit within a single network message.

This performance counter measures the total number of jobs in the queue of the long parsing thread pool. Exceeding maximum thread count can lead to a slowdown in task execution.
