Each AE system requires at least one communication process (CP)and one work process (WP). If necessary, the number of server processes can be increased at any time. The communication workload should be well-balanced, and the whole communication process should not depend on one single process. We therefore recommend using two CPs. Provide for the sufficient number of WPs depending on the number of processors that are used.
Minimum equipment:
- 1 primary work process
- 2 communication processes
- 2 work processes
- 2 dialog processes
Recommended equipment:
- per computer - at least 2 communication processes
- per core 1 - 3 work processes
- upon requirement 2 - n dialog processes
Notes: The values shown above are based on the assumption that no other applications run on the particular computer.
The number of dialog processes to be used does not depend on the number of processors but on the number of users that are logged on to the system. Check the workload in the Processes & Usage page and create new ones when necessary.
Refer to the Administration perspective to check the workload of the individual server processes. Depending on the particular values you can react and start new server processes if necessary. See Processes & Usage.
It is recommended to set up the number of your AE system's server processes in accordance with the above listing. There is no limit but with the number of server processes increasing, the internal administration effort becomes higher than the benefit gained from load distribution.
By default, the database scheme is designed for 5 communication processes. However, when these 5 CPs are exceeded, the next process creates its own MQ1CP006 and MQ2CP0006 tables in the database etc.
