The SRBroker component forwards synchronous and asynchronous requests to batch components like Workflow Process Manager, running on the same server or on a different server. Asynchronous requests can use either of two modes, Asynch mode or DirectDb mode. (Using DirectDb mode is generally recommended.) A target component must be available in order for the request to succeed. Load balancing and appropriate sizing of batch components can help ensure that your server resources are effectively used and that all requests are fulfilled.The Server Request Processor (SRProc) component, running on each applicable server, is also used in handling some requests. For requests made using DirectDb mode, SRProc writes the requests into the S_SRM_REQUEST
table. SRProc running on the same or a different server also forwards requests to target batch components.Requests might in some cases cause a target batch component to reach its maximum number of tasks, as set using MaxTasks
. In such cases, the requests are handled as follows, depending on the type of request and on the setting of the HonorMaxTasks
parameter on the target batch component:
For synchronous requests or asynchronous requests using Asynch mode, if the target batch component has reached the maximum number of tasks, then the component queues the request in memory for processing when tasks become available. Queuing such tasks minimizes the potential of request failure on the batch component due to the MaxTasks
value having been reached. However, in some cases, requests might remain in the queue in the process memory, delaying processing.For an asynchronous request made using DirectDb mode (which is generally recommended), the SRProc component on the same or a different server forwards the request from the S_SRM_REQUEST
table to the target batch component. If the target batch component has reached the maximum number of tasks, and the parameter HonorMaxTasks
is FALSE
(the default setting), then the component queues it in memory for processing when tasks become available. Queuing such tasks minimizes the potential of request failure on the batch component due to the MaxTasks
value having been reached. However, in some cases, requests might remain in the queue in the process memory, delaying processing.For an asynchronous request made using DirectDb mode, the SRProc component on the same or a different server forwards the request from the S_SRM_REQUEST
table to the target batch component. If the target batch component has reached the maximum number of tasks, and the parameter HonorMaxTasks
is TRUE
, then it is unable to accept the request. However, SRProc on the same or a different server can forward the request from the S_SRM_REQUEST
table to a target batch component for processing when tasks become available. Requests that are queued in the database are subject to less risk due to process failure or hangs than requests that are queued in memory.
Note: Settings forMaxTasks , MaxMTServers , MinMTServers , and HonorMaxTasks are used by the Application Object Manager components for Siebel Mobile applications, as with other Siebel applications. Load balancing is supported for Siebel Mobile applications. To support synchronization for a Siebel Mobile disconnected application that participates in load balancing, you must set HonorMaxTasks to TRUE for the component the application uses for synchronization. |
Set MaxTasks
and HonorMaxTasks
as appropriate for each batch component, according to your usage cases, request volumes, and overall topology. Consider that, if batch components sometimes experience hang issues, then it might be undesirable to queue requests in component memory.For help resolving any component failure or hang issues, create a service request (SR) on My Oracle Support. Alternatively, you can phone Global Customer Support directly to create a service request or get a status update on your current SR. Support phone numbers are listed on My Oracle Support.
