Setting the capacity of a server object container in ArcCatalog

You can configure how many running service instances each of your server object container (SOC) machines will support by setting each SOC's capacity property. If one of your SOC machines is considerably more powerful than the others, you might want to set a high capacity value on that machine and a lower value on the other machines.

To learn more about capacity, see the topic Tuning and configuring services.

Steps:

1. Connect to the GIS server in ArcCatalog.
2. Right-click the name of the server and click Server Properties.
3. Click the Hosts tab and choose the machine whose capacity you want to change, then click Edit.
4. Choose Enter custom limit and type an integer representing your desired capacity in the input box.
5. Click OK and close the Server Properties dialog box.
