Number of Instances

The TIBCO iProcess Engine does not impose a limitation on the number of instances of a process running on a machine in the node cluster. The maximum number of instances is really a function of the number of resources available on the machine. In reality, it does not seem reasonable nor practical to run more than 16 TIBCO iProcess® Objects Server instances on a machine. However, the TIBCO iProcess® Objects Server is coded to limit the number of instances per machine to 99. You will still be able to configure more than 99 instances per machine in the Process Manager, but any TIBCO iProcess® Objects Server instance greater than 99 will generate an error status to the Process Manager and exit gracefully. This error will be seen in the "Last Status" column when running “swadm show_processes”.
