Configuring Method Servers for Background Queues
The Windchill property settings allow you to configure a separate method server dedicated to running background queues.
To start up two method servers where one is dedicated to executing background queue entries, use the xconfmanager to ensure that the following properties in wt.properties are set:
#Services to be monitored by the StandardServerMonitor
wt.manager.monitor.services=MethodServer BackgroundMethodServer
#Number of Servers to start
wt.manager.monitor.start.MethodServer=1
wt.manager.monitor.start.BackgroundMethodServer=1
#Queue default execute setting
wt.queue.executeQueues=false
Setting wt.queue.executeQueues=false ensures that queue entries do not execute on the method servers. To override this setting for the background server you want dedicated to executing background queue entries, set the same property to true on the startup command for the background server. This property is set to true for the default background method server.
Under most circumstances, a single background method server is sufficient for processing background queues. If your site requires high availability of queue processing or you just want multiple background method servers for processing queue entries, you can set up multiple background method servers and then establish queue groups on each method server.
For information about setting up high availability queue processing, see
High Availability Queue Processing.
For information on setting up multiple background method servers and queue groups, see
Configuring Background Method Servers.
