How to change the number of concurrent processes an agent can run

Question & Answer


Question

How do you change the number of concurrent processes that an IBM UrbanCode Deploy agent can run?

Answer

Procedure:

1. Open the installed.properties file on the agent with a text editor

    Default location is AgentInstallationDirectory\conf\agent
2. Add the following property and save

    com.urbancode.air.devilfish.apps.plugin.PluginRuntimeServer.execExecutorScale=4

    Note: The number 4 indicates that you can run four concurrent processes per CPU. You can change that number to any other value based on your environment needs.
3. The number of CPUs available to the UrbanCode Agent can be found by viewing the following file after the agent is started:
    AgentInstallationDirectory\var\log\agent.out

    There will be an entry showing the number of CPUs the JVM can use:
    2016-10-18 23:35:21,409 INFO  com.urbancode.air.diagnostics.logging.DiagnosticLoggingUtil - Processors available to JVM: 2
