Description

When using the on-demand queue allocation method, queues are allocated to Work Item Server (WIS) processes based on the cost of the work queue. The WQS_QUEUE_WEIGHTING parameter determines the cost of the work queues. See Configuring the Assignment of Queues to WIS Processes for more information about the on-demand queue allocation method.

Tuning

This setting allows control over how work queues are allocated to WIS processes. For example, the larger the value, the more that the number of work queues rather than the number of work items in the work queues determines whether a work queue is allocated to a WIS process. Therefore, if you have lots of work queues with an even amount of work items in each, you may want to increase the value of the WQS_QUEUE_WEIGHTING parameter. If you only have a few work queues that contain large amounts of work items, you may want to lower the value.
