      When initially installing an application server or extension server (that is, Workflow or User) on a 64-bit computer, you can elect to run the server in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode. If your environment changes subsequent to installation, you can use the Configure Server tool to change the architecture mode accordingly.
    - Add or remove performance counters
      Using this procedure, you can manually add performance counters to your system, or remove them. You must have administrative privileges in order to perform this action.
    - Display the host server name in the Workflow client
      By default, the server name is displayed in the client, next to the server state icon. However, if you want to display a more meaningful name for your server, you can configure an alias so that the alias is displayed in the client rather than the actual server name.
    - Client and Server Configurations
      Workflow supports adding server and client configurations that are not included in the respective configuration files.
    - Server Limit Overrides
      There are many limits in the Proficy SOA server that can be changed without recompiling any source. These limits are changed by adding a named file with the new limits to the Program folder.
