Stage Runtime Performance Options

Runtime performance options control how individual stages in a flow are run and provide settings you can use to improve the performance of your flow. The settings available to you depend on how your Spectrum Technology Platform environment has been configured.

• The Local option is the default setting in which stages run on the local Spectrum Technology Platform server and use one runtime instance. The runtime instances setting can be increased, thereby utilizing parallel processing and improving performance.
• The Distributed option is typically used in a clustered environment which involves installing a load balancer and multiple Spectrum Technology Platform servers.
• The Remote option can be used if your environment consists of multiple Spectrum Technology Platform servers but is not configured for distributed processing. This option allows you to have a stage's processing performed by another server.
