Define A Processor Group

By default, Insight provides the following processor groups:

DEFAULT — A multiprocess group that processes queue Integration Processes (IP) using any available active processors. The queues associated with this group are:
- Input Queue — SCRIBEIN
- Retry Queue — SCRIBERETRY
- Dead Message Queue — SCRIBEDEADMESSAGE
You can modify these queue associations through Site Settings: Expand Administration and click the Site Settings node. In Site Main Queues, you can reassign these queues to any other shared queue.
SERIAL — A single-processor group that processes time, file, and query IPs using one processor. There are no queues associated with this group.

When you define a processor group, a set of SCRIBEIN, SCRIBERETRY, and SCRIBEDEADMESSAGE queues is created. Each queue in this set behaves the same as the queues associated with the DEFAULT group and is given the processor group name as a prefix.

For example, if you define a new processor group, NEWPROCGRP, the following queues are also defined:

NEWPROCGRP_ScribeIn
NEWPROCGRP_ScribeRetry
NEWPROCGRP_ScribeDeadMessage

To redirect generated messages from a File, Time, or Queue IP to NEWPROCGRP, on Step 1 of the Integration Process Properties, select NEWPROCGRP in Processor Group. When this IP runs, on Step 1, all generated messages are initially sent to the SCRIBEIN queue, then the message processor redirects those messages to the NEWPROCGRP_ScribeIn queue.

Note:

Messages are only processed from the SCRIBEIN queue to a NEWPROCGRP queue when the IP configured with NEWPROCGRP is active. For example, if you click Run Now for an IP that is not active, messages generated by that IP are written to the SCRIBEIN queue, but they are not processed to the NEWPROCGRP queues.

If you are running more than one IP and one IP depends on the output from another, assign both IP processes to the SERIAL processor group to ensure that one completes processing before the other begins.

In the Console, right-click Integration Server, and click Properties. The Integration Server Properties dialog box appears.

Click the Add button. The Group Creation dialog box appears.

Note:

If the maximum number of processors have been assigned from the DEFAULT group to existing groups, a message that no processors are available appears. Before you can add a new group, you must do one of the following:

Edit an existing processor group to reduce the number of processors assigned to that group
Contact Sales to upgrade your license to enable more processors on your system

In Name, enter a unique name for the group you are creating.
By default, the queue names assigned to this group are based on the group name.
In Processors, specify the number of processors you are assigning to this group. Each group must be assigned at least 1 processor.
You can assign up to one less processor than the number of processors assigned to the DEFAULT group. For example, if there are 5 processors assigned to the DEFAULT group, you can assign from 1 to 4 processors to the group.
Review the names of the queues assigned to the new group and modify them if necessary. If these queues do not exist, they are created. The default queue names are:
- Input queue — (group_name)
- Retry queue — (group_name)_Retry
- Dead Message queue — (group_name)_Dead
If you want the queues associated with this group added to shared message queues, verify the Add To Shared Message Queues is selected.
Note: If you do not add these queues to the Shared Message Queues list now, you can add them later. For more information, see Message Queue Security.
Click OK.
