Managing engine groups

An engine group is a set of one or more Adaptive Server engines. The significance of engine groups is the ability to create an affinity between an execution class and an engine group. By creating this affinity, you can tune Adaptive Server performance for applications, logins, and stored procedures.

There are two default engine groups: LASTONLINE and ANYENGINE. ANYENGINE contains all engines on Adaptive Server. LASTONLINE contains the engine with the highest number. For example, if Adaptive Server has four engines (0, 1, 2, 3), LASTONLINE contains engine 3.
