The workThreadInterval Attribute
Specifying workThreadInterval sets an interval in integer seconds for Arbortext Publishing Engine to check the status of the Arbortext PE sub-processes. Arbortext Publishing Engine can check for the following:
An Arbortext PE sub-process has started and is ready to process a request
An Arbortext PE sub-process has been idle for too long and should be terminated
An Arbortext PE sub-process has been running for too long and should be terminated
An Arbortext PE sub-process is presumed to be hung, should be terminated, and another one started if needed
As each check is made, Arbortext Publishing Engine takes appropriate action according to its attributes. The default value is 5 seconds.
