Bookshelf v7.5: Modifying iBots

The Modify Job dialog box displays the iBot you selected. Modify the iBot properties, as described in Table 14.

A default value in these fields indicates that the value specified in the Siebel iBots tab of the Job Manager Configuration dialog box is active.

Table 14. iBot Properties
Web Server	Specifies the Web server this iBot will contact when it runs. Note: It is recommended that you do not change this setting, because the iBot may not exist on a different Web server. This feature was added for debugging purposes only.
Debug Log	Determines whether debugging information is written to a log.
Max Concurrent Subscribers	Specifies how many concurrent actions or unique requests will be executed in parallel. Note: This number represents the number of dedicated threads from the thread pool that this iBot will use. If you have many subscribers, and the iBot is personalized for each recipient, it may be beneficial to increase the number of threads for this iBot, because it will be able to handle more subscribers concurrently. However, you should exercise caution, because if a subscriber receives multiple deliveries, threads can become blocked. For example, if you have two subscribers, each with a delivery to an email device and to the Intelligence Dashboard, then two threads will be able to execute concurrently while the other two wait for the results of the first two. If you have allocated five threads to this iBot, all deliveries will try to execute, but two will occupy threads that could be used by other iBots. The other iBots will not be able to execute if one long-running iBot uses all of the threads. If many iBots are scheduled to execute at the same time, the cumulative number of threads you dedicate (that is, the sum of all iBots' threads) should not be greater than the current thread pool. Otherwise, performance could be impeded.
