Plan the number of translations running on a module

You must first make a rough estimate of how many translator tasks are required per day. Then you must decide whether the machine can handle all these translators. You can decide the number of translations that can run on a module by setting the following properties: MaximumTasks controls the maximum number of tasks allowed in the module at a particular instant. Use this property to control the maximum number of services or translations running on the machine. For more information, see DispatcherRoot\Module\conf\transmodule.properties file. maxlimit defines the maximum number of translations that can run simultaneously. Default is 1 even if you do not set this value. For more information, see DispatcherRoot\Module\conf\translator.xml file. Example 1 You estimate that 10 translator tasks can be handled at the initial stage. This module has three services installed on it. They are as follows: Translator1 Runs 5 translator tasks and they are the most important ones. Translator2 Runs 2 translator tasks and they are based on license restrictions. Some translators have license restrictions and only two licenses of the software are available at a time. Translator3 Runs 3 translator tasks. In this example, edit the DispatcherRoot\Module\conf\transmodule.properties file to set the MaximumTasks=10 property. This is based on the number of services you had estimated initially. Then edit the DispatcherRoot\Module\conf\translator.xml file to specify values as follows: Copy Example 2 After observing the performance of the module for some days, you want to increase the number of translations to 13 as follows. Translator1 Runs 7 translator tasks as they are the most important ones. Translator2 Runs 2 translator tasks and they are based on license restrictions. Some translators have license restrictions and only two licenses of the software are available at a time. Translator3 Runs 4 translator tasks. In this example, you edit the DispatcherRoot\Module\conf\transmodule.properties file to set the MaximumTasks=13 property. This is based on the number of services you have decided after increasing the load. Then edit the DispatcherRoot\Module\conf\translator.xml file to specify values as follows: Copy This is a continuous process and you must iterate these steps to decide the maximum number of translations that can be run on a module.
