Background Processes and Queues

Background processes (BGPs) allow system actions to run in the ‘background’ while giving users the ability to continue working in the user interface. Most standard background process queues display on the 'BG Processes' tab in workbench and can be accessed there.

A background process queue is a way of prioritizing system processes that ensures high-level system performance. BGP queues can be named and configured to control which processes run on which server and how many may run at the same time on each server. Background processes that share a queue also share the number of simultaneous processes that can be run for a given application server.
