Specifying the Maximum Number of Tasks per Node
The appsettings.config file contains a MaximumNumberOfTasks setting. This setting specifies the maximum number of web calculation tasks that can run per node.
When the default installation directory is used, the location for the appsettings.config file is probably:
C:\Program Files(x86)\PTC\Windchill Risk and Reliability 12.0\Windchill Risk and Reliability
<add key="MaximumNumberOfTasks" value="-1" />
The default value is -1. This indicates that half the number of available processors (rounded up) can be used to run web calculations. You can change this value to any natural number to specify the maximum number of tasks that the node can run. Changing the value to 0 would disable calculations on the node. If you specify a value larger than the actual number of processors on the machine, the actual number of processors is used.
