Queuing settings
You can configure queuing and scheduling in the Queuing settings section of SDL Tridion Sites Content Manager configuration.
About this task
The Content Manager users an internal queuing and scheduling mechanism. You can configure the queuing settings in the MMC Snap-in for the following queues:
- Publisher (rendering)
- Publisher (deploying)
- Search
- Workflow Agent
- Batch Processor
To ensure that scheduled publishing actions are processed at the scheduled time, the services poll the queuing mechanism. Search and the Workflow Agent do not use scheduling. Therefore, polling intervals are only necessary for Publisher queuing.
The service that listens on the queue only picks up messages that comply with the filter criteria. You can set up filters if you run multiple services on multiple systems. Filtering allows you to configure your hosts to process certain types of messages.
Some examples of how filtering can be used include:
- You can configure a host to process only High priority messages and another host to process Normal or Low priority messages
- You can configure one host to only process messages from another specified host
- You can configure a host to only process messages for a specific Publication Target
