The CONCURRENTWORKLOADOCCURRENCES threshold is an aggregate threshold that specifies the maximum number of workload occurrences that can run concurrently on the coordinator member.
When a workload occurrence is started, if the work that it generates is sent to non-coordinator members, the work on these members does not count towards the concurrent threshold total on the coordinator member. For example, assume that a CONCURRENTWORKLOADOCCURRENCES threshold is defined to permit only one occurrence of workload A on a member. Then assume that an application connects to member 1, resulting in an occurrence of workload A being started, and that this workload causes work to be sent to database members 1, 2, and 3. In this situation, the total number of occurrences of workload A is one on member 1 and zero on database members 2 and 3. Therefore, if another application connects to member 1 and another occurrence of workload A is started on member 1, that workload is rejected. However, new occurrences of workload A can still be started on database members 2 and 3.
