Question:
I'm getting an error that says 'too many new instances created: 503". Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this?
I'm doing a lot of lookups in this logic element so I think this has something to do with it.
Answer:
503 is number of instances created
the number comes from app's xml config file
<formulaEngine>
<script>
<maxInstances>500</maxInstances>
<timeoutInSec>5</timeoutInSec>
<findMaxResults>200</findMaxResults>
</script>
</formulaEngine>
500 in by default
Q:
Do you think it would fix the problem to call some of the lookups in a different element?
Is 500 the max number of instances for one element or the entire logic?
A:It seems that it is per formula (just guessing from the fact that those variables lives in instences of class named FormulaSandbox)
Q: Is there any way to increase or remove this limit?
A: We've allowed ourselves quite a bit of leeway in dedicated instances, but in a shared instance we do have to limit resource usage in a formula.
The limit is per script, i.e formula element, so spreading out logic would help.
The first thing to do would be to review the code though.
workaround = try to spread out the logic between more elements
