Just how unique are the ppids generated by Appian? At what point would Appian start recycling previously used ids? Obviously Appian wouldn't try to use an active id but there must be a point at which the ids run out.
Thanks...

  • On my system there are 3 exec engines. The process IDs started at about 1 and 268.435.000 and 536.871.000. So what happen when the IDs of the first exec engine reach the number range of the second? I know that this is a very big range and a system would need to start new process on a high frequency for many years. But from my view as a computer scientist this is not something I would rely on.
