Changing the engine count on Windows

The engine count specifies the number of engines configured on the server to handle engine-related requests. For a standalone Spotfire Statistics Services installation, by default, the engine count is set to the number of cores on the server.

If you want your standalone installation to handle other tasks, you can change processing resources by setting the Java property -Dengine.count. On Windows, we use the Procrun service to add or modify Java properties.

Procedure

  1. Browse to the directory SPSERVER_HOME/tomcat/bin (where SPSERVER_HOME is your server installation directory).
  2. Open TSSS<service_name>w.exe, where service_name is the value that you specified during installation.
  3. Select the Java tab.
  4. Under Java Options, add the specific Java property -Dengine.count=val where val is the desired value.
  5. Start or Restart the service.
