Work queue scheduling and processing intervals
Worker tasks awaken much more frequently than their writers start. One writer awakens at least as frequently as a specified maximum polling interval, if not more frequently.
You do not schedule worker tasks. Instead,
they awaken in response to notification from the writer or upon expiration
of the polling interval. After a worker awakens, if there are work items
to process, it processes up to the number of batchsize items, as defined in
work-queue.xml. If there
are more items than the batch size to process, the worker awakens another
worker. This worker repeats the process of checking out work items and
waking up another worker if necessary, until maximum allowed number of
workers are active.
You can view and manage work queues from
the Server Tools Work Queue Info
screen in PolicyCenter, if you
have the appropriate administrative privilege.
