WorkPoint 365 Version 4.16

The Job Queue Manager in WorkPoint has received some updates to both functionality and UI.

The various jobs which WorkPoint relies on to function properly are now organized into four different queues:

• Integration: This queue is normally used for integration through the WorkPoint API.
• Site Provisioning: This queue is normally used for site provisioning through the WorkPoint Integration API or through Dynamic Site Creator when it runs in parallel mode.
• Management: This queue is normally dedicated to management jobs that are not assigned a priority.
• Priority Based Queue: This specific Job Queue prioritizes tasks based on their assigned priority weight and the time they have spent waiting in the queue.

WorkPoint 365 Version 4.16 introduces the "Priority based queue". Any job that is not assigned to either the Integration- Site Provisioning- or Management queues, can instead be placed in a priority category ranging from Low, Medium, High, and Critical. These categories have varying (and customizable) weights, and jobs in the Priority based queue are executed in order, based on the weight of their category and for how long time they have been in the queue.

For most purposes, the default groupings and weight settings for the priority categories work fine, but if necessary, jobs can be moved from one default queue to another, or placed in the priority categories and thereby go into the Priority based queue.
