Explicitly setting max jobs / flow limit on a BW sub-process


I know we can set max jobs and flow limit on a TIBCO starter process but is there anyway of explicitly setting it on a sub-process (non starter process)?


Solution

  • Max Jobs and Flow Limit can only be set on process starters or on spawned subprocesses. Flow control on regular (i.e. non-spawned) subprocesses is determined by the parent process starter's configuration and cannot be overridden.

    If you want to be able to control the flow of a subprocess, I see 2 options:

    1. Make it a spawnable process.
    2. Make it an independent process with its own process starter (e.g. JMS Queue Receiver) and have the parent process invoke it with the appropriate protocol (e.g. JMS). This way you can control the process' flow control as you would do with any process starter.
