Transaction Prioritization¶
There are three buckets for transactions in the VOSS Automate system Priority Queue, namely high, medium and low priority:
High Priority:
Self-service transactions: carried out by end users on the Self-Service interface
Medium Priority:
MACD operations on the VOSS Automate Admin Portal by Administrator users
API-based provisioning (HIL)
Any other transaction not in the Low Priority bucket
Low Priority:
Data Sync (LDAP, any device import transaction)
Bulk load transactions
Data import (import of data in JSON format)
From the Command Line Interface (CLI), a command is available to modify the default number of queue workers:
Use voss workers to show the current number of queue workers. The default is 30.
Use voss workers <number> set the number of queue workers.
An adjustment of the number of queue workers will impact on the number of parallel transactions that will run, which is a factor of this value as well the queue priority bucket to which the transaction belongs.
For example, Data Sync transactions may execute asynchronous workflows which are executed in parallel, or a Bulk Load transaction may have the Parallel flag set to True.
