CFS Import Agent (FileNet P8 domain properties)

The CFS Import Agent tab provides configuration information for the IBM FileNet Content Federation Services (CFS) document import agent.

IMPORTANT Do not modify any values unless an IBM support representative specifically instructs you to do so. Improper modification of a value could adversely affect system performance and functionality.

Configuration Source
Indicates the domain object that these configuration parameters apply to and whether the current properties are inherited from another object.
Enable Dispatcher
Enables the dispatcher for this service.
Dispatcher Wait Interval
The maximum number of seconds the dispatcher waits before looking for work. Valid settings are 5 - 600 seconds.
Lease Duration
The maximum interval, in seconds, allowed for a worker thread to process a batch before the system assigns the batch to another worker. This interval ensures that any abnormal termination of the worker thread that was previously assigned to the batch does not prevent batch completion.
Maximum Number of Worker Threads
Number of import agent threads on each Content Engine server. The default value is 10. Setting the value of this property appropriately prevents the under- or over-utilization of the Content Engine server on behalf of the CFS importer.
Batch Selection Size
The maximum number of batches that are selected by the import agent dispatcher from the database in a single database round trip.
Maximum in Memory Items
This value, in combination with the Maximum Number of Worker Threads property, establishes a threshold that prevents the system from inserting additional batches of federation requests in the in-memory pre-fetch queue. The number of items in the queue is reduced as batches of work are dispatched to worker threads. When the number of batches in the queue falls below the threshold, the system resumes the addition of new batches from the database queue.
Move Content Leash Threshold
The number of seconds that must be remaining on the version series row lease to allow a move content operation to proceed.

When the Import Agent assigns a queued import request to a worker thread, the worker thread acquires a lease on the request. The lease is the number of seconds allotted by the Import Dispatcher for the worker thread to complete its work. If the time expires before the work is completed, the dispatcher can assign the request to another thread. A move operation can take considerable time and can potentially exceed the allotted time. Before attempting the move operation, the worker thread determines how much time remains on the lease, and compares that value to the Move Content Lease Threshold value. If the amount of time is greater than the Move Content Lease Threshold value, the worker thread proceeds to execute the work. If the amount of time left is less than the Move Content Lease Threshold value, the worker thread relinquishes the lease and allows the Import Dispatcher to reassign the request to another thread.

 
Override inherited settings
Overrides the inherited configuration settings. When you enable this option, you can click Copy Values to select an object to copy configuration settings from. This option is not available if there are no inherited configuration settings to override.
