Epicor 9 Progress AppServer's, max amount of initial 'Active Ser

Like the others already said, read the tuning guide.

To have Suggestions run faster look at changing the Number of Processes to a higher value. We found the number is not linear and you reach a point where it no longer improves performance. It can have negative effect on users during the day if you really increase the value, so test and tune until you reach a good balance point for your system. We tuned our system to run Regenerative PO Suggestions in 25 minutes from 2 hours previously.

I'm working towards upgrading to Epicor 9 and as the server is a beast I'd like to start the Epicor905 and our additional Epicor905Print AppServer's with as many Active Server's as possible, I'd like to run things like Generate Suggestions and Process MRP with many multiple processes/threads.

Testing things I've set both of the above to start with and initial number 20 servers each, however, this then prevents me from starting the ProcessServer and TaskAgent with the error in their logs being...

The server or the system has no more resources. Please contact Progress Technical Support. (748)

... is there an option I can alter so that more resources are available, the server can handle it, or is this a hardcoded or licensing issues with Progress ?.

Thanks.
Ah, I think that this is governed by the settings on the database/Default Configuration ?.

Can I increase the Maximum User and Server values by however I see fit, as long as the server can take it ?.

Thanks.

Do you have the tuning guide? It's been a while since I have read it but I think it will help answer your questions.

I'd second the recommendation to go through the tuning guide. There are a
lot of things that can be a bit counter intuitive if you're not very
familiar with the way OpenEdge works.

Also, I'm not sure about MRP, but a lot of things like Generating
Suggestions and such are not going to run faster because you have more
active servers. They're basically a single thread that will grab one server
and use it until it's done.
