environment where the total bandwidth value of those tasks is
1000 or less. With more Workers this value should be increased to
ensure all Workers remain busy. With a low setting and many
Workers there is the possibility that all Workers will not be utilized.
• Worker Bandwidth Throttle: Determines the total task band-
width acceptance per Worker. By setting your throttle to 800, this
allows each Worker to accept tasks that total a bandwidth usage
weight of 800 (8 x 100). The default setting is 175. Every task is
assigned a bandwidth value between 1 and 100, reflecting how
intensive the task can be on the Worker machine. A Worker Band-
width Throttle too low could cause some of the Worker threads to
remain idle. A value too high could cause all threads to accept high
bandwidth tasks and affect individual task performance.
• Queue Manager Non-Blocking Update Count: The number of
non-blocking tasks to be moved from Bullpen to Queued status.
The default setting is 1500. Non-blocking tasks allow all 8 threads
per Worker to be active and therefore should be a higher value
than blocking. Setting this value too high can cause non-blocking
tasks to wait to be assigned and make for inefficient use of a
worker.
• Queue Manager Task Cache Count: Number of tasks to move
from the Bullpen to the Queue per Queue Manager iteration when
the Queue Manager Bullpen Trigger Count is reached. Applies to
PST Mailstore, Non-Blocking and Blocking tasks. The default set-
ting is 300.
• Queue Manager Blocking Update Count: The number of block-
ing tasks to be moved from Bullpen to Queued status. The default
setting is 300. Blocking tasks can have dependencies on other
blocking tasks. Setting this number too high can cause them to
wait until blocking tasks have completed and make for inefficient
use of a worker.
• Queue Manager Bullpen Trigger Count: The lower threshold at
which Queue Manger begins adding more tasks to the queue, up to
the Queue Manager Task Count value. This setting ensures the
queue does not run out prior to updating the main Queue with new
tasks from the Bullpen. The default setting is 100.
