Can these two run in different queues?

As you can see these currently are in the same queue, but I am experiencing some slowness.

Looks like Batch_Calculate runs and then Batch_Calculate_Details will run afterwards when both run.

I asked one of the technical analysts who works regularly on the Shop Floor and Manufacturing related processes about these two jobs.  He said they’re dependent on each other and should definitely be run in the same batch queue for that reason.  

I also asked if he was aware of any documentation about the specific jobs of IFS core product background jobs and queues.  Unfortunately he didn’t.  

Sorry I don’t have more helpful answers than these.

It is configured in Solution Manager,  Look for Batch Queue administration.  You may create new  queue´s and move the job’s.   Please  look into the tech documentation  or send PM.

@jorlin where is the tech documentation for the jobs?

 

I know how to configure the batch queues, but have never seen anything on jobs.  I would be interested in looks at it.  :-)

In the Technical Documentation library look in ….

          Solution Manager User Guide  »  Background Processing  »  Background Jobs  »  Batch Queues Configuration

Also - I was able to go into one of the internal IFS test systems (25R2) and successfully used the Delete button to remove a background job from one batch queue and then add that job to a different batch queue.  This was only true for a core product job, however.  I’ll leave it for others with more experience using batch queues to respond regarding custom background jobs.

Hi Eugene,

 

Appreciate the answer.  I know how to move jobs around and create batch queues.

I just need to know if I can run the two jobs in different batch queues….some must be kept in the same queue...not sure if these two can be separated.

So the issue here is whether or not the Shop_Order_Cost_Bucket_API and Shop_Order_Cost_Util_API jobs are interdependent and whether or not they ought to be run together, i.e. in sequence?  Please confirm. 

If yes I’ll find a functional analyst who can help with that point.

Yes, can they run in different queues without causing an issue.

I appreciate you confirming :-)
