Determining actions that can be multi-threaded

To determine if an action can be multi-threaded:

  1. When your action is running, go to Administrator > Async Administrator > Async Overview.
  2. Select the queue in which your action is running and note the Class and Action names.
  3. Select Administrator > Utilities > Action Configuration > Action Configuration.
  4. Search for the Class and Action name. If there is a matching row in Action Configuration where you can change the number of threads, then it is designed to run multi-threaded.
    Note: If there is an action in an HCM Async queue, but there is no Action Configuration entry where the Number of Threads for that action can be updated, then the action is not designed for multi-threading. Consider changing the parameters of the action so that it runs with a smaller set of records.
  5. If you do not know the Class and Action name, look in the Action Triggers section for the queues that begin with HCM.
    Note: Some actions are designed to perform better when configured for multiple threads. For example, if it is a Benefits action, it is likely to be running in the HCMBenefitsActions queue.

    If you cannot find your action in any of the queues starting with HCM, check the DefaultQueue.

    If you cannot locate the queue, it may have completed already.
