Description

This setting defines the period of time a WIS spends listening for a new request from a User, for example, List a Work Queue, Open a Work Item, Keep a Work Item, Release a Work Item, Start a case, Sort/Filter a Work Queue etc. The Work Item Server has a single primary function that is to maintain Work Queues and deliver a view of those Work Queues to the user. This function can be further split into two sub-tasks. The first is to maintain the Work Queues by processing any new messages arriving from the TIBCO iProcess Engine. The second is to respond to any user request to list Work Items in a queue or perform an action on an item or queue. A WIS will spend a maximum of WIS_RPCSERVICE_PERIOD seconds listening for or processing user requests before reverting to processing incoming messages for a maximum of WIS_MBOX_WORK_LIMIT seconds. If no clients make a request on a particular WIS for WIS_CLIENT_IDLE_PERIOD then if there are new messages still to be processed, the WIS will spend another WIS_MBOX_WORK_LIMIT seconds trying to process the new messages.

Tuning

This setting needs to be tuned carefully in conjunction with the WIS_CLIENT_IDLE_PERIOD, WIS_TOUT_GRANULARITY and WIS_MBOX_WORK_LIMIT parameters to best meet the profile of your system. There are two extremes of usage which these settings can be tuned for: Give high priority to User requests and low priority to new work items arriving. Bulk loading of work items with no or few users logged in.
