Setting up throttling for the IBM EMM Scheduler

You must set up a throttling group for each type of object being scheduled.

Procedure

  1. On the Configuration page, navigate to one of the throttling group templates under Platform > Scheduler > Schedule registrations > [Product] > [Object] > Throttling group.
  2. Create a category from the throttling group template.

    The number you set for the Throttling threshold property is the highest number of runs associated with that group that can execute concurrently. Any schedules eligible to run that exceed the throttling threshold are queued to run in the order in which the run notification is received by the scheduler.

    The configured scheduler groups appear in the Scheduler Group drop-down list in the Scheduler user interface for creating and editing schedules.

    You must create a throttling group for each type of object whose runs you want to control in this way. For example, flowchart throttling groups are available only for scheduling flowcharts; mailing throttling groups are available only for scheduling mailings.

  3. Assign one or more schedules to the group, as needed.
