Hi @Mithun_Shetty,

I would suspect that this is releated to your implementation and the REST client you use for this.

The code in the Java Delegate implementation should not start any new threads.

But without any details, nobody can help you.

Hope this helps, Ingo

Hi @Mithun_Shetty,

the connectors are built based on Apache httpclient: https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.12/reference/connect/http-connector/.

A quick google search with “apache httpclient starting many threads” brought me to https://hc.apache.org/httpclient-legacy/threading.html.

Maybe you can configure to use a limited number of threads for outbound connections.

Hope this helps, Ingo

in-bound-call-test.bpmn (8.4 KB)
with this workflow, I see one thread keeps adding every time when I execute workflow

@Mithun_Shetty are using any executor service to start the process?
