Changing work queue settings

In Guidewire Studio™ for ContactManager, navigate in the Projects window to configuration > config > workqueue and double-click work-queue.xml to open it in the editor. In this XML file, you can change the settings for the workQueueClass named com.guidewire.ab.domain.contact.DuplicateContactsFinderWorkQueue:

<work-queue 
    progressinterval="600000"
    workQueueClass="com.guidewire.ab.domain.contact.DuplicateContactsFinderWorkQueue">
  <worker batchsize="100" instances="4"/>
</work-queue>

The settings are described in the comments at the beginning of the work-queue.xml file. The base configuration settings for com.guidewire.ab.domain.contact.DuplicateContactsFinderWorkQueue are:

minpollinterval="0": The worker does not sleep after completing a work item.
maxpollinterval="60000": The worker wakes up and polls for work every 60,000 milliseconds, or one minute.
progressinterval="600000": The amount of time the system gives the worker to do the work before assuming that it ran into a problem and reassigning the work to another worker. By default this time is 600,000 milliseconds, or 10 minutes.
batchsize="100": Each worker takes 100 new contact names at a time and compares each one to the contacts in the database.
instances="1": The number of workers for the process.
