Is it possible to create a generic batch queue that is used to feed multiple
batch queues? What we have are several batch queues for general background
processing, but we also have a need to submit short lived jobs into the
system that are allowed to run on any batch queue. I want to take advantage
of the fact that sometimes the various batch queues are available so that
these short duration jobs can be processed quickly.
For example, in a system with the following queues that receive submissions
directly
BatchA: Job Limit = 4; Base Priority = 3
BatchB: Job Limit = 5; Base Priority = 2
BatchC: Job Limit = 1; Base Priority = 1
i'd like a new queue that can feed all three, depending on Availability
status. If a queue is Busy or Stopped, it shouldn't receive any jobs from
this queue. If it's Available, it's eligible for the next job.
SubmitToBatch: Holding Queue; This queue will submit to any of the above
queues if and only if that queue status is Available.
Thanks,
Mike Ober.
