Workload Distribution

The XCOMJOB batch utility uses a proprietary ranking system to select the appropriate PLEXQ member server to receive a transfer request. When a local schedule request is initiated to a PLEXQ group, each available server which is a member of the target PLEXQ group is assessed and assigned a ranking. CA XCOM Data Transport considers the total number of transfers, with special consideration given to locally initiated transfers. The Worker who has the lowest ranking receives the transfer. In case of a tie, the first server in the PLEXQ group to respond to the poll for status will receive the transfer.
