Create a Global Work Manager

Using the Administration Console, you can create global work managers that are used to prioritize thread execution.

Note: You cannot create or configure app-scoped Work Managers using the Administration Console. For more information, see Assiging Work Managers to Applications and Application Components.

Follow these steps to create a global Work Manager:

If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
In the Administration Console, expand Environment and select Work Managers.
Click New.
Select the Work Manager button, then click Next.
Enter a name for the new Work Manager.
Click Finish.
To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).

After you finish

After you have created a global Work Manager, you must create at least one request class or constraint. The global Work Manager uses request classes and constraints to determine how to priortize work. For general information on request classes and constraints, see Using Work Managers to Optimize Scheduled Work. For more information, on creating global request classes using the Administration Console, see Create a Global Request Class. For more information on creating global constraints using the Administration Console, see Create a Global Constraint.
