Jay,
Is your inbound thread a fileset/local protocol?
If so adjust the Scjeduling parameters.
The Scan Interval is how often the directory will be scanned for files – if you only have one file this won’t come into play after the initial scan. If you have one file per message (for example) then lowering this value will lesten the amount of time Cloverleaf will wait to find the next file/mesage.
The Read interval is how long to wait before reading the file (in seconds) that is currently being processed. This wait takes place after the Max. Mesages amount has been read.
Max. Messages is how many messages should be read from the currently processed file once the read interval has been reached.
So if you say read a maximum of 10 records after 3 seconds between reads that means you will get 10 messages every 3 seconds or so. You can alter these values to try to pace the arrival rate.
However if you get messages coming in too fast you will see the route arrows become saturated ant the outbound thread as well – thus not really pacing but rather dumping as fast as possible.
We do that with new integrations to just try and find out the upper saturation level of the outbound thread. Then we throttle back to approximate our required delivery rate to confirm the system can keep up with our minimum service level (3 messages per second).
