Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:

Managing AppServer agents

In general, you can manage running AppServer agents based on the Server Pool Parameter settings as follows:

You can trim any number of running AppServer agents below your Minimum Server Instances parameter value to zero.
You cannot add any more AppServer agents than your Maximum Server Instances parameter setting. However, once you have found the maximum number of AppServer agents that you can run productively for the AppServer, you might even want to set that value lower if the setting negatively impacts other tasks on the system.
