Implementing Deferred Primary Domain Processing

This section provides an overview of deferred master domain processing and discusses how to set up deferred primary domain processing.

Understanding Deferred Primary Processing

PeopleSoft Integration Broker enables you to defer request processing on primary domain to secondary domains that are available for processing. Configuring deferred primary processing enables you to free processing resources on the primary domain machine due to hardware or processing power limitations, or so it can run other processes.

The Primary/Secondary Load Balance page features a Primary Processing Status drop-down list box where you set the processing status for the primary domain. The following table lists the primary processing statuses and their descriptions.

Master Domain Processing Status	Description
Enabled	The primary domain processes its appropriate share of requests. (Default.)
Deferred – All Queues	The primary domain does not send any requests to its respective process handler(s) as long as there is at least one active secondary domain that can be used for the dispatch cycle.
Deferred – Unordered Queues	The primary domain does not send any requests in an unordered queue to its respective process handler(s) as long as there is at least one active secondary domain that can be used for the dispatch cycle. When you select this option the primary domain dispatchers only send requests to a secondary domain for processing if the queue being processed is defined as unordered queue. If the queue is not unordered, the primary domain sends the request to its own process handler for processing not to the secondary domain.

Master Domain Processing Status

Description

Enabled

The primary domain processes its appropriate share of requests. (Default.)

Deferred – All Queues

The primary domain does not send any requests to its respective process handler(s) as long as there is at least one active secondary domain that can be used for the dispatch cycle.

Deferred – Unordered Queues

The primary domain does not send any requests in an unordered queue to its respective process handler(s) as long as there is at least one active secondary domain that can be used for the dispatch cycle.

When you select this option the primary domain dispatchers only send requests to a secondary domain for processing if the queue being processed is defined as unordered queue. If the queue is not unordered, the primary domain sends the request to its own process handler for processing not to the secondary domain.

If the system is set to any of the deferred modes the primary will process requests if no secondary dispatchers are available. In each of the deferred modes, the primary assigns processing to secondary dispatchers based on the load balancing weight value assigned to the secondary dispatcher.

Setting Up Deferred Primary Domain Processing

To set up deferred primary domain processing:

Select PeopleTools, and then Integration Broker, and then Service Operations Monitor, and then Administration, and then Domain Status.

The Domain Status page appears.
Click the Primary/Secondary Load Balance link.

The Primary/Secondary Load Balance page appears.
From the Primary Processing Status drop-down list box, select a primary domain processing status.

The valid values are:
- Enabled
- Deferred — All Queues
- Deferred — Unordered Queues
Click the OK button.
