Configuring a process server enables you to tune the way it handles jobs and resources.

For most customers, the default settings are satisfactory, especially at implementation time.

The configuration of a process server can be done at any time, the new settings require a restart of the process server, to become active.

Procedure

  1. Choose   Environment → Process Servers  .

  2. From the context menu of the process server, choose Edit.

  3. Fill in the fields on the different tabs, refer to the Creating Process Servers section for the values.

  4. Choose Save and Close.

Example

A process server is running low on resources and important financial jobs are not being processed in the expected time frame. Further analysis shows that there are time consuming but low priority jobs running. One queue provider, named MSLN_PRD_LW, is held, to prevent low priority jobs to be executed on this process server, other process servers are serving this queue. Another queue, MSLN_PRD_EM contains both low and high priority jobs, after analysis the important jobs have a priority of 80, by setting the hold level to 80 the other jobs run on the remaining process servers serving this queue.

  1. Choose   Environment → Process Servers  .

  2. From the context menu of the process server, choose Edit.

  3. Choose the tab QueueProviders

  4. Choose MSLN_PRD_LW select Held

  5. Choose MSLN_PRD_EM and enter 80 into the field Hold Level.

  6. Choose Save and Close.

The process server needs to be restarted, the best way to do this is to hold all queue providers and wait until all jobs have finished, then restart the process server and open all queue providers. Holding a queue provider only affects one process server.
