Setting the maximum rate for a message flow
Allows system administrators to restrict the maximum rate at which a message flow can run at by setting the maximum rate property.
About this task
The system administrator is able to restrict the rate that an individual message flow can run at by setting the maximum rate property. The maximum rate is specified as the total number of input messages processed every second by all the threads that are running in the message flow.
To calculate the number of threads within a specific message flow:
- Count the number of input nodes within the flow.
- Add on the number of additional instances that are specified for each input node.
- Directly within a BAR file.
- As one of the attributes within a workload management policy that is defined within Integration Registry.
A maximum rate value of zero, or not set, causes the message flow maximum rate to be turned off. The default state is off.
Within the same integration server, a mixture of message flows can run along side each other, some with the maximum rate set, others with the maximum rate turned off.
