Configuration

To enable multiplexed mode, set the Multiplexed Mode property to true in the Engine configuration. The default value is false.

To set the lease time, go to Admin > System Admin > Manager Configuration > Services, and set the value of the Multiplexed Engine Lease property. The default time is one minute.

The MULTIPLEXED_MASTER_ID Engine property is set on any multiplexed Engine to contain the sessionID of Engine instance 0 within its process.

There are two buffer timeouts:

MULTIPLEXED_ENGINE_MAX_BUFFER_WAIT: This is an absolute time set per Service.
MULTIPLEXED_ENGINE_AVG_BUFFER_WAIT: This is a factor that is multiplied by the average task duration or the tasks executed during the lease. The default is 0.5. So if the average duration is 10 seconds, this timeout is 5 seconds.

The timeout is measured starting from the first send request.
