Exclusive Computing Power

What is Exclusive Computing Power?​

Exclusive Computing Power refers to the exclusive resource service purchased by the organization on the platform that allows workflows to run independently. After purchasing exclusive computing power, you can add important workflows from applications to run on the exclusive computing power, ensuring that they are not impacted by workflows from your organization or other organizations on the platform.

Exclusive computing power does not speed up the workflow itself, but ensures that workflows in the exclusive computing power will execute stably, without being affected by other workflows.

Do I Need Exclusive Computing Power?

All workflows in the platform are executed sequentially, and workflow instances are executed concurrently through servers. Under normal circumstances, a workflow instance (such as one triggered by a worksheet event) will complete execution within 5 seconds after the data changes (assuming the workflow does not contain approval nodes, fill-in nodes, delay nodes, etc.); workflows triggered by buttons will complete in 1 second. Sometimes, other workflows with complex configurations that need to modify many fields in worksheets may cause slow execution, leading to workflow congestion, which in turn causes delays in executing workflows in the queue.

  • Recommended to Purchase Exclusive Computing Power

    If your organization’s business requires stable workflow execution, and delayed execution may disrupt business processes, then exclusive computing power should be purchased.

  • Not Needed

    For example, when a lead is created and the workflow queries the region and assigns follow-up personnel, waiting for a few minutes will not impact the business, and exclusive computing power is not necessary.

Purchase​

Only super administrators and application administrators of the organization can purchase and manage exclusive computing power on the Organization Management page.

  • Start Purchase

    Click the "Purchase Exclusive Computing Power" button to start selecting computing power configurations.

  • 1. Select Configuration

    Choose the maximum concurrency based on actual needs.

    Concurrency refers to the number of instances that can run at the same time. For example, 20 concurrency means that 20 workflows can run simultaneously, and if more than 20 workflows are triggered, they will be executed after the initial 20 workflows finish.

  • 2. Duration

    Two options are available: monthly upgrade package and single-month package.

    • Monthly Upgrade Package

      This package is available from the current month until the platform’s license expiration date.

      Check the Platform License Expiration Date:

    • Single-Month Package

      The package is valid only for the purchased month.

  • 3. Cost Calculation

    The cost is automatically calculated based on the selected configuration and duration.

    Monthly package cost calculation: unit price * 12 months * billing days / 365 days.

    • 20 concurrency: 200 CNY/month
    • 50 concurrency: 500 CNY/month
    • 100 concurrency: 1000 CNY/month

  • 4. Place Order and Pay

    Payments using the organization account balance, WeChat, or Alipay will take effect immediately. Payments by bank card require offline verification and may experience delays.

TIPS​

  • Exclusive computing power is not available in free editions.

  • A maximum of 5 computing powers can be purchased by one organization.

  • Each organization can experience a 20-concurrency computing power for free once (single-month package, valid in the month of purchase).

Management​

Basic Information and Operations​

In the list, you can view the computing power's resource ID, modify the name (default is the specification), and renew.

  • Resource ID

    You may need to provide this ID when reporting issues.

  • Modify Computing Power Name

    The default name is the specification, but you can rename it based on your business requirements.

  • Status

    • Creating (resource is being created after payment)
    • In Progress
    • Destroying (expired, but workflows are not fully consumed; once consumed, it will be destroyed)
    • Destroyed

Computing Power Allocation​

As mentioned earlier, not all workflows require exclusive computing power. For workflows that need stable execution, you can add them to run on exclusive computing power, avoiding the impact of congestion, while other workflows can continue to use the platform's public computing power.

Click the management button in the card to manage workflows under this computing power.

  • Add Workflows to Run on Exclusive Computing Power

    Subprocesses and packaged business processes (PBP) referenced by workflows added to this computing power will also run on the current exclusive computing resource.

  • Remove or Move to Another Computing Power

    Batch or individual operations are supported.
