These parameters specify how many AppServer agents an AppServer starts and maintains to service clients. The number of running processes changes depending on these settings and how you are managing AppServer execution. While there is no exact set of rules for determining the correct settings for the server pool parameters, you can start with the following basic practical considerations:
Initial number of servers to start — The number of processes started when the AppServer first starts up
Minimum servers — The minimum number of processes that the AppServer keeps running to meet client demand
Maximum servers — The maximum number of processes that the AppServer keeps running to meet client demand
