Workflow-eventdelivery-throttle: Stsadm property (Windows SharePoint Services)
Applies To: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
Topic Last Modified: 2007-09-07
Description
Specifies the number of workflows that can be processed (that is, using the processor, not idle) at the same time across all front-end Web servers.
Throttle is a limit across all workflows; however, batch size is the number of events processed for a single instance, which can have many events queued at the same time. Throttle overrides batch size; that is, if the workflow instance cannot be started or restarted because there are too many instances running across all front-end Web servers, none of the events will be fetched, regardless of the batch size.
Syntax
stsadm -o setproperty
-propertyname workflow-eventdelivery-throttle
-propertyvalue <A valid integer>
**\[-url\]** \<https://server\_name\>
The syntax for the getproperty operation is:
stsadm -o getproperty
propertyname workflow-eventdelivery-throttle
**\[-url\]** \<https://server\_name\>
Note
You can substitute -pn for -propertyname and -pv for -propertyvalue.
Values
The following table shows possible values.
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
propertyname |
Gets or sets the name of the property. |
propertyvalue |
A valid integer. For example, if the value is set to 15, 15 workflows are active in memory, and the sixteenth workflow automatically starts. The auto-start will be sent to the timer service to be processed later. The default value is 15. |
url |
Typically, a path to the URL of the Web application, in the form http://server_name. |
Examples
To set the number of workflows to be processed to 20, use the following syntax:
stsadm -o setproperty -pn workflow-eventdelivery-throttle -pv "20"
To view the current setting of the workflow-eventdelivery-throttle property, use the following syntax:
stsadm -o getproperty -pn workflow-eventdelivery-throttle
