What are the benefits and drawbacks of using MNI in process model?

Hi Sonakshi :

MNI stands for Multiple Node Instances.
It allows single node in a process to be execute in a multiple times.
There are two ways you can design of the each instance using MNI should be executed.
Parallel Execution : all instances are activated simultaneously. They do not have to be completed in the same order they are activated.
Squential Execution :the Instances are executed in the order one after the another or one at a time.

Benefits :
1.This is best suited for cases where the looping functions cant be used.
2.If MNI is occurring in the script task where there is no user interaction, it may be possible using looping functions instead. If he is using looping functions, no matter how complex, that is the preference of MNI.

Drawbacks :
1. MNI takes more memory
2. It is slower
3. More difficult to configure.

Thanks,
Ravi.
