Configuring the Max Loop

The Max Loop is the number of times a process instance can loop back to the previous step. The maximum number of sessions for an activity is set to 50 by default. Once a process instances loops back the 51st time, the process instance will become suspended.

Instructions

In some cases, you may have a special need to have more than 50 sessions, in this case, open the netflow.cfg file in Notepad, and change the value for maxLoop to a higher value, and then save the file.

Reset IIS upon making changes to the netflow.cfg file.

You can also set the Maxloop at the process model level to avoid an infinite loop scenario. The process level MaxLoop setting overwrites the global/server level setting in the netflow.cfg file.

There is a Process Template property in AgilePoint Envision called 'Maximum Session Allowed' that allows for the configuration of MaxLoop that will overwrite the global/server level setting in the netflow.cfg file.
