Default Configuration for Legacy Background Process Queues

Legacy BGP functionality uses specified queues, while the recommended BGP execution mechanism prioritized BGPs based on the priority of the BGP and the created time. Refer to the BG Processes Execution Management topic in the System Setup documentation here.

In the default legacy configuration, the following queues are used:

  • Import processes have their own queue named IN.
  • Export and web publisher processes share a queue named OUT.
  • Scheduled processes have their own queue named SCHEDULE.
  • All other background processes share a queue named MISC.

The legacy IN, OUT, and SCHEDULE queues are set up to execute one process at a time, while the MISC queue is set up to execute two processes simultaneously. For more information on these settings, refer to the Background Process Queue Multi-Threading Properties section of the Background Processes and Queues topic here.

The following legacy background process properties define the type of data being processed:

  • BackgroundProcess.ProcessType.Exporter.Queue=OUT
  • BackgroundProcess.ProcessType.Importer.Queue=IN
  • BackgroundProcess.ProcessType.Schedule.Queue=SCHEDULE
  • BackgroundProcess.ProcessType.WebPublisher.Queue=OUT

The following legacy background process properties define the default queue sizes:

  • BackgroundProcess.Queue.IN.Size=1
  • BackgroundProcess.Queue.MISC.Size=2
  • BackgroundProcess.Queue.OUT.Size=1
  • BackgroundProcess.Queue.SCHEDULE.Size=1

All of the legacy background process settings can be viewed in the STEP System Administration portal, on the Configuration tab under the Background Process section.
