Upscaling or outscaling Workflow

You can upscale Workflow (by configuring multiple threads for the Workflow Agent) or outscale Workflow (by installing a Workflow Agent instance on one or more dedicated machines).

Upscaling
To configure a Workflow Agent to use multiple threads, in the workflow element in the Content Manager configuration file, Tridion.ContentManager. config, change the value of the workflowAgentThreadsCount attribute.
Outscaling
You can install the Workflow Agent on one or more dedicated machines. Installing multiple Workflow Agent services on dedicated machines improves performance in environments where Workflow is heavily used. Also in this case, the queuing mechanism can help to support complex scenarios. In Workflow, you can filter on Publication or host name.
