Create an Engine Instance

You can create multiple instances of engines on the same computer. On the domain manager computer, the main engine is called SystemEngine; while on a remotely installed system, it is called computername_Engine. You can right-click any such engine and create its new instance. The new instance will reside on the same computer.

Having additional engine instances is useful in the cases where:

• The re-scheduling interval of tasks is too large due to the number of scheduled engine tasks.
• The tasks that might take a long time to finish and would exclude other tasks from being processed in a reasonable time period.

Follow these steps:

1. Right-click System Engine under the Control Panel folder, select Create new instance and enter a unique name for the engine in the text field, and click OK.

   The newly created engine appears under the All Engines folder.

   Note: The new instance runs on the same computer as the selected engine. To distribute engines on the other computers, you need to install a new engine on the chosen computer using the Client Automation installer.
