Hi! 

 

I use IFS 8. Each month end, there will be users compain that they have to wait 1 or more hours even run a simple daily job. I check Database Backgroud Jobs. There are many big jobs are posted at month end. Some job will running more than 2 hours. Other jobs have to wait when 1 big job is running. I guess there is only one job can run at same time. Is it possible to run 3 or 4 jobs at same time?  Thus other jobs can execute on time if 1 or 2 big jobs are running.

Is anyone can help me on this? Thanks in advance!

Please look for Queue phrase in Navigator, you should find Batch Queue Configurator:

In this window you can define new execution queues and connect specific tasks to the specific queries, e.g. in our case customer order processing is separated from other tasks, to avoid processing delays.
