number of worker processes specifies the maximum number of worker processes that Adaptive Server can use at any one time for all simultaneously running parallel queries combined.

Adaptive Server issues a warning message at start-up if there is insufficient memory to create the specified number of worker processes. memory per worker process controls the memory allocated to each worker process.
