Processing Queues

SSOLite stored procedures write messages to the BG processes using the default background message queues, using a round-robin allocation on a per-session basis. This means that every time a new database session is started the first defined queue (BGMBOX1) is used first. As a result, BGMBOX1 can become overloaded if database sessions are not persisted.

You can override this default behavior for specific transactions by using the SW_SET_QUEUE and SW_UNSET_QUEUE control procedures.

Alternatively, you can dedicate specific message queues to handling requests from your SSOLite stored procedure calls. To do this:

1.

Create a new Mbox set named SSOLITE. (The Mbox set can use either existing message queues or new ones.)

2.

Set the MBSET_WRITE_BG process attribute for your application to assign the SSOLITE1 queue to it. All messages posted to a BG process by the SSOLite stored procedures will now use the SSOLITE Mbox set.

The following example shows a series of commands that you could use to do this.

# Add a new SSOLITEQ1 message queue. (Remember to create the
# sw_db_ssolite physical queue first.)
#
swadm add_queue SSOLITEQ1 Local 0003:swpro.sw_db_ssolite

# Add a new SSOLITE Mbox set.
#
swadm add_mboxset SSOLITE Local

# Add the SSOLITEQ1 message queue to the SSOLITE Mbox set (6 is the
# Mboxset ID of the SSOLITE Mboxset).
#
swadm add_queue_to_mboxset 6 SSOLITE1

# Set MBSET_WRITE_BG so that calls from the application’s SSOLITE 
# stored procedures use the SSOLITE Mbox set to write messages to the 
# BG processes.
#
swadm set_attribute 1 SSOLITE 0 MBSET_WRITE_BG 6
#
#Set background processes to read from the queue
#
swadm add_process 1 BG Y
swadm set_attribute 1 BG 5 MBSET_READ_BG 6

Note	The SSOLite stored procedures cache queue information. Therefore, you must shut down and restart all database connections if you change your message queue configuration in this way.
