Determining Where Processes Run

The process_config table determines on which computers individual processes are run and how many instances of those processes are started. A number of rules regulate where processes can be run:

•

All of the foreground processes must operate on the master server. For a list of these processes, see Foreground Processes.

•

The background processes can operate on any server and can be distributed across several servers. For example, you might run a background server instance on each of your servers if you are using a node cluster architecture. See Background Processes.
