Resource consumption page
The resource distribution page is used to indicate the expected resource consumption per active document flow element. This information is used by ION to balance distribution of document flow elements over the available connect nodes.
This page provides the BODs you expect to be handled by each element for a certain time period. You can choose your own time period as long as you keep it the same for all elements.
If you use one connect node, it is not mandatory to specify the details.
To access this page go to ION Desk, click .
Buttons
: based on the currently provided resource consumption expectation, ION will calculate distribution of the active elements over the available connect nodes.
: Opens the Connect Nodes page displaying the active distribution of document flow elements over the available connect nodes.
Fields
Listed are the active document flow elements.
Type: identifies the document flow element type.
Name: the name of the document flow element.
Resource consumption: relative factor for the expected weight of this element type compared to the other element types. Defaults are provided. You can adjust these weight factors to better reflect the weight balance of your environment. For example, if you have implemented a very complex transformation you can consider to raise the resource consumption for that element.
BODs per time unit: Indication how many BODs are expected to be processed by the document flow element in a certain time unit. Use the same time unit for all elements.
Ratio: the calculated ratio based on resource consumption and BODs per time unit
