In what configuration file can you set the max execution node limit for activity chaining?

The configuration file where you can set the maximum execution node limit for activity chaining is custom.properties. This file is specifically used for application-specific configuration properties, including tuning parameters for the Appian engine’s behavior, such as limits on resource usage.

The setting for the max execution node limit defines how many activity nodes can be executed in a single execution chain, allowing for better performance tuning and efficient resource management. Properly configuring this value can help ensure that processes run smoothly without overwhelming the system.

Other files, while also essential to the Appian environment, serve different purposes. For instance, appian-config.xml holds overarching application settings, process-model.xml contains definitions for specific processes, and engine-settings.xml is used for various engine configurations but does not specifically handle activity chaining limits. Thus, custom.properties is the relevant file for this particular configuration.
