# Modifying task settings

For each task, you can modify the settings according to your needs.

To modify task settings:

1. In the **Manage Storage Tasks** window, select a task in the left pane and then click **Settings**.

   The **Setting -** **<Task\_Name** **>** window opens.

2. In the **General** tab, you can change the logging granularity. In the Log level drop-down list, the following options are available:

   * **INFO** (default) - Logs informational messages that highlight the progress of the task at a coarse-grained level.

   * **DEBUG** - Logs fine-grained informational events that can be used to debug the task.

   * **TRACE** - Logs finer-grained informational events than the **DEBUG** level.

     Note that the log levels **DEBUG** and **TRACE** impact performance. You should only select them for troubleshooting if advised by Qlik Support.

3. In the **Advanced** tab, the following settings are available:

   * **Sequential Processing:** Select this option if you want all the Storage Zone processes to run sequentially, even if they can be run in parallel. This may be useful for debugging or profiling, but it may also affect performance.

   * **[](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/compose/Content/ComposeDWDL/Main/DL/Storage%20Zone/modify_etl_settings_hive.htm)Maximum number of database connections:** Enter the maximum number of database connections that Compose is allowed to open for the task. The default number is 10.

   * **JVM memory:** Edit the memory for the java virtual machine (JVM) if you experience performance issues. **Xms** is the minimum memory; **Xmx** is the maximum memory. The JVM starts running with the Xms value and can use up to the Xmx value.

     Information noteOnly the following characters are supported (shown as a regular expression): /^[-a-zA-Z0-9:]\*$/

   * **Position in default workflow:** Select where you want the Storage Zone tasks to appear in the default workflow. For more information on workflows, see [Workflows](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/compose/December2024/Content/ComposeDWDL/Main/DL/Tasks%20and%20Workflows/workflows.htm).
