Task Activity
The Data Management sequence monitors the server’s CPU and evaluates other queued tasks in order to make sure that they are processed in order as resources become available. If the server resource utilization is greater than the limit, the job status will be set to Queued and the task progress bar will stay on the queued task step until enough CPU resources are available to start the task. This can be monitored in Task Activity.
Use Queueing
Set this to True to use queueing for this task in order to have better control of the application server’s CPU utilization. This task will not start running until CPU utilization is below the specified value, or until all previously queued tasks have been completed. The default is set to True.
Maximum % CPU Utilization To Run
Enter the maximum % CPU utilization allowed on the application server before this task is allowed to transition from queued to running. Enter a number between 1 and 100 or leave this setting blank to use the default. The default is 70%, however this can be modified in the Application Server Configuration.
NOTE: Do not set a value less than 10 or the task may never start.
Maximum Queued Time Before Canceling (minutes)
Enter the number of minutes that this task is allowed to be queued before canceling it automatically. Enter a number, or leave this setting blank to use the default. The default is 20 minutes; however this can be modified in the Application Server Configuration.
When a task gets queued, the task progress dialog will stay on Task Queued. Open Task Activity to monitor the queued task and the current server CPU utilization.
NOTE: Batch processing queue overrides other Workflow batch queue settings. The batch processing queue does not apply to batch script, only the Batch screen in the Workflow.
