To create a Snaplex:

1. In SnapLogic Manager, go to your project folder, click , and from the drop-down menu, select Snaplex.
   
   
2. On the Settings tab of the Create Snaplex dialog, enter the following information:
   
   • Name: Enter the name for this Snaplex.

3. On the Node Properties tab, enter the following information:
   
   • Maximum slots: Enter the maximum number of Snaps (slots) used in Pipelines intended for this Snaplex.
   • Reserved slot %: Enter the percentage of Snaps needed for interactive Pipeline operations.
   • Maximum memory %: Enter as a percentage the memory threshold for nodes executing pipelines. Only nodes below this value are considered for Pipeline executions.
   • Heap max size: Enter maximum  heap size Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The Default is Auto.
   • HTTP Interface: Choose from where Snaplex node accepts HTTP network connections.
   • HTTP Port: Enter from where Snaplex node listens to HTTP connections.
   • HTTPS Port: Enter from where Snaplex node listens to HTTPS connections.
   • Restart Max Wait time: Select either Minutes (in which case you specify the number of minutes) or Forever for the waiting time before the Snaplex node restarts.
   • Snaplex node types: Specify the service performed by this Snaplex node:
     • Hostname: Enter the Hostname
     • Server type: Select JCC.
