Configuring the Number of Machine Tasks to Run in Parallel

Determine how many Flow Machine Tasks can run simultaneously. Balance between optimizing your server resources and the user experience.

The number of Flow Machine Tasks to be run in parallel must be configured to be no more than half the number of cores on the server on which Flow was installed. In other words, if the server has 4 cores, the number of Flow Machine Tasks to be run in parallel should be no more than 2.

The default number upon installation is 2. This value can be modified by opening C:\Program Files\Donnelley\MultiTrans Flow 64\runtime\conf\default\flow.properties in a text editor and changing the value of max_concurrent_machine_task. If a change is made, the MultiTrans Flow 64 service must be restarted.
