Static Config Scanner

Static Config Scanner Details

The Static Config scanner determines whether fair-share scheduling queues are configured optimally. The Static Config scanner tests all nine queues in Sterling B2B Integrator. However, you can select queues for the scanner to ignore with the Skip Queues property.

Average Cycle

The Average Cycle test calculates the average number of steps per business process and ensures that the value of the AE_ExecuteCycle parameter for each queue is greater than that average. If the value of the AE_ExecuteCycle parameter is less than the average, processes that take more steps than average to complete, are interrupted and terminated. Ensure that the value of the AE_ExecuteCycle parameter in theinstall_dir/noapp.properties_platform_ifcresources_ext file is large enough to allow all your business processes to complete. For more information about configuring queues, see Tuning Queues.

The Average Cycle Test has a severity level of 3, SEVERE.

Cycle Time

The Cycle Time test ensures that the value of AE_ExecuteCycleTime parameter for each queue (in milliseconds) is greater than the threshold value assigned to Low Time.

Are you using the fair-share scheduling queues in Sterling B2B Integrator to prioritize and manage your business processes? You might want to check whether your queue configuration parameters are at optimized settings with the Cycle Time test. Ensure that the value of the AE_ExecuteCycleTime parameter in the install_dir/noapp.properties_platform_ifcresources_ext file is large enough to allow all your business processes to complete. For more information about configuring queues, see Tuning Queues.

The Cycle Time Test has a severity level of 3, SEVERE.

The Static Config scanner includes tests that help you to determine what are the best practices to follow for your particular system. Tests are designed to ensure that your settings match the settings suggested for Sterling B2B Integrator, but those settings might not necessarily be the best for your particular system or improve performance, nor does a difference in suggested settings indicate a serious system error.
