Procedure documentationUsing Queues to Administer Job Execution Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

Jobs wait in queues until a process server serving the queue and that provides adequate resources is available, and while queue limits are not reached.

Queue limits can be a number of jobs, a time window restricting the queue to be open at night time, for example. Queue providers, by which process servers serve a queue, can also have restrictions.

The following restrictions apply to queues and to queue providers:

  • Execution Size

  • Hold level

  • Time window with time zone

The most restrictive setting applies, a queue can have an execution size of 3, if a queue provider serving this same queue has an execution size of 6 this value is never reached. If the time window of a queue provider is always closed during the time window of the queue then the process server may not run any jobs from that queue.

Note Note

SAP recommends you to specify a time zone on a queue, especially when you tie a time window to it to make sure the correct time is used.

End of the note.
