Resource limits

The entry in a (brand) license most unique to a SoftJACE is the “resource.limit” number found in the “station” section, for example:

<feature name="station" expiration="2014-11-18"
resource.limit="10000"
    parts="SJ-1M-AX"/>

In this license example, any station running on the SoftJACE is limited to a maximum of 10,000 kRU (kilo Resource Units). Above this limit, a yellow-highlighted warning appears in all views of the station, including wire sheets, property sheets, Px views—even when accessed via browser. See Figure 4.

Furthermore, a warning informs you when the station SoftJACE restarts (Figure 5), and in some cases may keep the station from starting.

You can check the resource unit count of any running station that is opened in Workbench. Simply right-click the station node in the Nav tree, and select ViewsResource Manager (Figure 6).

If a SoftJACE is over its capacity (yellow warning as shown in Figure 4), reduce the number of station components until the total resources are within its license limit. Contact your vendor to see if you can purchase additional resource unit capacity.
