Controlling the number of servant regions

Why and when to perform this task

You can control the minimum or maximum number of servant regions for a server using the Administrative Console page. The minimum value is useful for starting up a basic number of servant regions before your day's work arrives. This can reduce delays while waiting for WLM to start up additional regions. The maximum value is useful for capping the number of address spaces that are started by WLM for each server instance, if you determine that excessive servant regions are contributing to service degradation.

Steps for this task

  1. Start the Administrative Console.
  2. Click Servers > Application Servers > server name > Server Instance.
  3. Type a value into the Multiple Instances Enabled and Maximum Number of Instances field, or leave these fields blank to allow WLM to determine the numbers.
  4. Click Apply to finish the Server Instance changes.
  5. Click OK.
