Interactive scheduling

Jobs are distributed over the available KCM Document Processors in the order they arrive. If a KCM Core instance is used to service both interactive and batch jobs, long running batch jobs can cause a delay in the processing of interactive jobs, degrading the user experience for interactive users.

KCM Core provides two options on the Advanced tab of the KCM Core Administrator:

  1. Prioritize interactive requests over Batch requests.

    This option forces KCM Core to prioritize interactive requests over batch requests whenever a KCM Document Processor becomes available. Interactive requests can still be delayed if all KCM Document Processors are busy servicing a batch request.

  2. Reserve Document Processors for Interactive requests.

    This option forces KCM Core to always reserve the indicated number of KCM Document processors for interactive jobs. Batch jobs are only run if there are more KCM Document Processors available than this limit.
