Changing Settings for Multiple Server Tasks

There are several registry settings that control the amount of consolidations, data loads, and Extended Analytics exports that can run at any one time in a multi-server environment. If you need to run several concurrent consolidations, for example, you can change the values in these registry settings.

Registry SettingDescription

MaxNumConcurrentConsolidations

Controls the number of concurrent consolidations allowed per application server. Any consolidations executed above the value are queued as Scheduled Consolidations. Minimum value is 1; maximum value is 8.

NumConsolidationThreads

Controls the multi-threading of consolidations per application server. Lowering the value limits the system's utilization of system resources, resulting in slower consolidation performance. Minimum value is 1; maximum value is 8.

NumConsolidationsAllowed

Controls the number of consolidations allowed per application across all the application servers. Default value is 8 and the range is 1–20.

NumDataLoadsAllowed

Controls the number of data loads allowed per application across all the application servers. Default value is 8 and the range is 1–20.

NumEAExportsAllowed

Controls the number of Extended Analytic exports allowed per application across all the application servers. Default value is 8 and the range is 1–20.
