Managing service instances
Service instances are specific to partitions. You can manage all the activities related to instances from the
individual partitions. For example, if you want a particular service to run only for a specific partition, then start
the Service Instance from that partition. You can also create and delete instances as and when you deem
necessary.
Creating service instances
By default a service instance is provided for each service in the system. In addition to these you can create new
service instances for the services. In a partition only three services can have more than one instance running at a
time. These three services are:
 Email services: Retriever and Dispatcher
 Workflow service: Workflow Engine
