NumberOfInstances

Description

The number of instances of the Interpret service you want to run on one computer, if you have multiple processors or hyper threading.

Note that starting with Invoices 5-9, ten is the default number of Interpret instances that can be run on a single computer, and it is normally no longer necessary to specify this setting unless you want to limit the number to less than ten for some reason, or if you have the appropriate licensing and your computer has the hardware requirements to run more than ten (see notes under "Important" below).

Example of setting up multiple instances of Interpret:

[ServiceInterpret]
MinutesToWaitBeforeTerminate=5
MaxMemoryUsage=1500
RestartOnCrash=1
 NumberOfInstances=5
SilentMinutesBeforeRestart=30

  • Your software license limits the number of instances of ReadSoft Invoices modules that can run at the same time. Therefore, for multiple instances of Interpret to work, you need a FLEXlm license that allows the number of instances of Interpret specified by NumberOfInstances. Note that there is a maximum of ten instances of Interpret that can be run for each service. If you need to run more than ten instances of Interpret on the same computer, you must create new services and have an Admin account assigned to them.
  • The number of instances of Interpret a single computer can run depends on the hardware. You must have enough memory and processors to run the number you have selected. You need approximately 500 MB of free memory and one dedicated processor, hyper-threaded or real, per instance. Otherwise, performance decreases.
