Advanced tab

On this tab, you specify the number of job threads, when to process queued jobs, and schedule spooling of the queue.

Setting	Description
Threads	The maximum number of job threads the queue can use. The StreamServer can process several queued jobs in parallel. This is an advantage if a large job is followed by a small job. With one single thread, the small job must wait for the large job to be completed. Note that each thread consumes system resources.
Process jobs	Specify when to process jobs. • On arrival – Select to process the jobs as soon as possible when they arrive to the queue. • When parent completed – Select to add the jobs to the queue after the parent job is successfully processed. For example, output jobs are added to the output queue after the parent job (delivered from the input queue) is successfully processed.
Schedule spooling	Select to schedule spooling of the queue. For example, if an output queue contains fax jobs, you can schedule the queue to wait until 6 pm before delivering the jobs. By default, spooling stops when the queue is empty.
Spooling interval	Open the scheduler, and specify the spooling intervals.
Spool for a limited time	Select to specify a time for when to stop spooling. • If the queue still contains jobs after the specified time, the remaining jobs are handled in the next spooling interval. • If the queue is emptied before the specified time, the queue waits for new jobs to arrive. This means the new jobs can be handled in the same spooling interval. You can select Stop if the queue is empty to override this feature.
Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds	The time when to stop spooling.
Store blobs on disk	Select to store blobs as files on disk. Documents in queued input/output jobs are by default stored as blobs (Binary Large Objects) in the runtime repository. You can, for each queue, select to store the blobs as files on disk instead. The runtime repository will in this case include references to the blobs stored on disk. There are several reasons to store blobs on disk, for example to: • Improve performance. • Decrease the amount of runtime repository data to backup. • Minimize the risk to reach maximum database and tablespace limits. Note: All jobs must be finished before you change this setting and redeploy the Project.
Blob path	Path to the folder where to store the files. To store blobs on a network share, you must use UNC (Uniform Naming Convention) when you specify the path. You cannot use drive letters. For example, you can use \\wtvs01\data\queues but not H:\data\queues when you specify the path.
