2. Now create a definition for the work process distribution for all
instances of your system.
3. Change the distribution of the work processes of your instances for
each of the operation modes.
Note that there should be at least two dialog and two background
work processes in all operation modes.

operation mode is switched, switch to the “Night” operation mode
manually in the Control Panel.
