# Configure the number of aggregations that can run simultaneously

# Configure the number of aggregations that can run simultaneously {#ariaid-title1}

A new processor or a background job, Aggregated Reporting Framework Processor is shipped with the base system, which executes the scheduled jobs that are related to the Aggregated Reports Framework table. This enables the
entire subsystem to run in the background, and it allows better utilization of system resources when they're available.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllBackground Job Configuration -- Vulnerability Response Common-Aggregation Result Calculator.
2. Define the number of aggregations that you want to execute simultaneously in the Max concurrent threads filed and select Save.  
   By default, four aggregations are executed simultaneously. {#create-config-arf-processor__max-conc-threads}
{#create-config-arf-processor__max-conc-threads}
3. Navigate to the Background Job Processor Pools list, sn_sec_cmn_background_job_processor_pool.list, and select New to create a background job processor for Aggregated Reports Framework.  
   For more information on how to create a background job processor pool, see [Advanced parallel processing for background jobs in Vulnerability Response](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/L6soi7vQsE_LNLXSz3WGGA "With this advanced setting, control the total number of background jobs that are being processed parallel, regardless of the job type.").  
   Note:  
   The number of background job processors must be equal to the number of maximum concurrent threads provided in the Background Job Configuration -- Vulnerability Response Common-Aggregation Result Calculator form. See [Step 2](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/FjzYHJ7JkestNV3YFa5qqA#create-config-arf-processor__max-conc-threads).
