Where can I find the settings related to the number of Filter Engines, Workflow and Background Daemons configured on WorldServer?
Answer
1- To verify the Filter Engine configuration in your WorldServer environment, go to the FileTypeSupportServer folder.

The folder where FTS is installed might vary in each environment.  You might typically find it under:
 
C:\WorldServer\FileTypeSupportServer

Here find the Sdl.WorldServer.FileTypeSupport.Server.Launcher.exe.config and find this entry:
 
<add key="NumberOfProcesses" value="1" />

The default value is 1, but you might find a different value that has been previously set. You can increase/decrease the value as needed for instance change it to
 
<add key="NumberOfProcesses" value="4" />

Please refer to this article to determine how many FTS processes you should configure:

How many FTS processes should I configure in my WorldServer environment?


Note: the value related to FTS daemon should always remain 1, do not change this value:
<add key="NumberOfDaemons" value="1"/> 

Save your changes and restart FTS for the change to take effect.

2- The number of Workflow or Background Engines/Daemons configured in an environment is set in the general.properties file. 

The relevant values in the general.properties file is in this section:

# Engine & Daemon Settings
workflow_daemon=1
background_daemon=1


If you want to increase or change the number of engines/daemons, make the appropriate change, save the changed file and restart the Idiom service for the change to take effect.

Note:
  • In a WorldServer 11 and later version, the general.properties file is located as described in this article: Configuring .properties files starting from WorldServer 11.
  • In a 10.4.X environment, it will be located in the tomcat directory. On a SDL hosted environment, this will be typically under
W:\WorldServer\tomcat\webapps\ws\WEB-INF\classes\config
