MaximumInUse

Integer

Not specified

Purpose

The MaximumInUse parameter specifies the maximum number of instances of a Jade application that will be run on a single Jade node. It should be matched to the resources available (that is, the number of CPU cores with allowance for the operating system and the Jade system application) or a target resource cost.

This value enables you to put limits on the resources any Jade node will consume, and by extension, the limits of the capacity of the node to respond to incoming requests.

Consideration should be given to performance issues related to concurrent database access. Without careful system design, there may be diminishing non‑linear performance costs to spawning more application instances.

Note

The value of the MaximumInUse parameter is forced to be equal to or greater than the value of the MinimumInUse parameter.
