Using the Action Configuration utility

You can use the Action Configuration utility in Infor HR Talent to adjust parameters of asynchronous actions for maximum efficiency.

These settings are provided to improve action processing efficiency by:

• Setting the async queue for the actions.

  Some actions may perform better if they are configured to run in a different queue.

• Setting the number of concurrent threads to run for the action.

  Some actions are designed to perform better when configured for multiple threads. Instead of one action processing an entire set of records, multiple concurrent actions can process subsets of the records simultaneously. For example, four actions running at the same time can each process one-fourth of the records.

Changes have been made and are anticipated for the async queue assignments for these Customer Updates:

• Prior to Infor HR Talent 11.0.23:
  • Configuration variable HCM_PayrollRunGroups was used by Payroll actions designed for multi-threading to determine number of concurrent actions.
  • Configuration variable HCM_RunGroups was used by all other actions designed for multi-threading to determine number of concurrent actions.
• Beginning with Infor HR Talent 11.0.23 and later:
  • When Action Configuration is disabled: HCM_PayrollRunGroups and HCM_RunGroups are still used as with 11.0.23.0 and prior.
  • When Action Configuration is enabled: HCM_PayrollRunGroups and HCM_RunGroups are not used. Instead, the number of threads for each action can be configured using Action Configuration.
• Beginning with a future release as announced in the Infor HR Talent Release Notes:
  • Ability to enable and disable Action Configuration will no longer be available
  • Action Configuration will always be enabled
  • HCM_PayrollRunGroups and HCM_RunGroups will no longer be used
