How to Calculate Your Max Number of Usable AMP Worker Tasks - comment by carrie

Das,
 
Changing the number of AMP worker tasks per AMP requires the modification of an internal DBS Control setting called MaxAMPWorkerTasks.  It will require a database restart. 
 
Because it is an internal setting and has a non-trivial impact on the system, I recommend that people who want to change the total number of AWTs per AMP on their platform call the support center for assistance/guidance.  They are able to provide recommendations to you based on looking at the entire environment and considering all the tradeoffs.  
 
Internal settings such as this are not considered to be customer tunables and are not something you want to do your own using trial and error.
 
Thanks, -Carrie
