3.2.2. Step 2: Configure Maximum Connections

After creating the workspace, follow these steps to configure the maximum connections:

  1. On the Tasks list, double-click Configure Compute Environment. Select the Adjust the job limit per compute specification type option in the Configure compute environment dialog box. Click OK.
    Figure 44. Configure Compute Environment


  2. Adjust the Maximum local connections setting to a value of 1. This configuration specifies that only one simultaneous connection is allowed for a particular specification type. Setting the value to 0 permits an unlimited number of connections.
