Configuring Windchill Properties for Multiple Method Servers
Code changes are not required to use the load-balancing capabilities within Windchill. Properties within the wt.properties file control load-balancing behavior.
To configure multiple method servers for Windchill, the server manager must start multiple method servers and monitor the servers for activity. Use the following properties in wt.properties to configure multiple Windchill method servers:
wt.manager.monitor.start.MethodServer=x
where x is the number of method servers desired.
This number does not include any method servers that will be used as background methods servers.
* 
High availability queue processing is enabled by default so all method servers may perform queue processing. You may choose to configure specific background method servers to execute queues. For the details on configuring a background method server to run background queues, see Configuring a Method Server for Background Queues.
