Configuring the Container Load Limit

A description of how to configure the Container load limit. The Container load limit setting enables you to specify the maximum number of CCX modules that a given Container may simultaneously execute.

Once the Container reaches its load limit, the Manager process makes the Container unavailable for additional work until its load is reduced. This setting is particularly valuable if you are running a high-volume application requiring a parallel query solution. A low load limit prevents multiple instances of the same project from running on the same machine.

To configure the load limit, set the "SybaseC8/Server/Container/LoadLimit" preference in the Container's c8-server.conf file to the desired number. This preference can be set to accept non-negative integers. The default setting for the property is 0 (unlimited).

Note: If you run more than one set of parallel projects, the load distribution of your projects across the available machines may still be uneven. For example, one machine may run two instances of ParallelProject1, while another machine runs two instances of ParallelProject2.
