Set up several service clients for job processing with load balancing. If jobs are not explicitly assigned to a specific service client, the job is passed to the service client that is processing the fewest jobs at that moment.

  1. Go to the Administration Administration tab in the function bar and select Administration General settings > Administration Technical settings > Monitor Service Clients (formerly "Web Server") to define multiple service clients for job processing.
  2. Tick the "Assigned only" field for explicitly assigned jobs. The assignment itself is made in the jobs.
    Example: A dedicated service client is used for email retrieval so as not to interfere with other jobs and web users.
  3. Assign individual service client to WebApps such as the ProductionApp or Bp Event Mobile to enhance response times by load balancing.
    Note: Be sure to use different ports if you select multiple web servers.
  4. Do not create more than 2 service clients for small servers with e.g. 8GB memory and 3 cores, but separate e.g. web server, jobs and emails if you have 32GB memory and 8 cores available.
