Solved: Question on MAXTIME parameter on queue registratio...

Former Member · ‎11-05-2007

Hi

I have a question regarding value of parameter MAXTIME - while registering for queues in XI . My intention is to prioritize queues - XBTA, XBTG, XBTZ with the *A queue having the maximum priority and the *Z having the least. Should I give a high value in seconds for the *A and a least value for *Z queue ? I read the definition of MAXTIME - as <b>'The MAXTIME parameter determines the time in seconds that is scheduled for processing a queue'</b> .

So, based on the above definition , should we give a higher value of MAZTIME for queues with higher priority - could somebody elaborate ?

MAXTIME is determines the maximum runtime of the queue. for instance u have a queue xbtg with max time as 30 and another queue ztag with 90, with regular processing and with the considerable amt of message ztag can process thrice the amount of message than xbtg.

i beieve that in the above case xbtg will be a high priority when compared with ztag.

Hi KARTHIK MATHRUBOOTHAM ,

These r the details Queues Prioritization:

Queues for Prioritized Message Processing

Queue prioritization for XI processing queues uses a built in feature of qRFC. By specifying the maximum processing time for a queue, u can define how much processing time a specific queue will get(this works like a time-scheduling procedure, time slicing). U can use this feature to add queues for high-priority and low-priority messages(for inbound and outbound processing). These queues are then named, for example XBT1* or XBT9* for inbound EO processing and XBTA, XBTZ for outbound EO processing.

This function uses the message filter concept and can be configured in transaction SXMB_ADM. U can define message filters for specific message attributes such as sender/reciever service, interface and so on. A filter can also be dependent on the message size.

This function can also be useful in situations where a queue backlog needs to be processed, due to a system error or an error on the reciever side, for example. In this case, u can use a Prioritized queue for urgent messages that must be processed immediately, without having to process the whole back-log first.

How to prioritize XI messages on the integration server

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20bb9649-e86e-2910-7aa9-88ed4972...

The parameter QualityOfService specifies how the Integration Engine should process a message. The following values are permitted:

1)BE(Best Effort: synchronous processing). If QualityOfService is BE, the client is sent the final status for the processing.

2)EO(Exactly Once: asynchronous processing with guaranteed execution exactly once). If QualityOfService is EO,processing occurs asynchronously and the client only recieves a confirmation of reciept with HTTP status '200'.

3)EOIO(Exactly Once in Order: asynchronous processing using queues, that is, guaranteed execution exactly once and maintaining the sequence of successive messages). If QualityOfService is EOIO,processing occurs asynchronously and the client only recieves a confirmation of reciept with HTTP status '200'.

Since u had choosen EOIO ,You must also define a queue name for EOIO:

XI.QueueId=<QueueName>

This queue name is used in the Integration Engine to process messages in the same sequence that they arrived in.

This QueueName can consist of a maximum of 16 characters. If the first 8 characters contain 'SAP_ALE_', these r removed since this value is reserved by SAP and used internally.

If a value is not specified for QualityOfService , the default value 'BE' is used.
