Admin Studio: Queue Processor Partition Management

Queue Processor throughput depends on:

• Number of partitions
• Number of threads
• Number of background nodes

For large enterprise applications, optimizing resource usage requires variable partition counts for each queue processor rather than a default value. The partition count should be adjusted based on the queue processor's volume and the number of background nodes.

The out-of-the-box (OOTB) activity pxAlterStreamPartitions can change partition counts, but administrators may not have access to DEV Studio to run this activity. Additionally, it's error-prone since queue processor names must be passed in uppercase letters, which can be easily missed.

This component addresses the following issues:

1. There is no OOTB method to find the current partition count for queue processors.
2. Updating the partition count for a queue processor is challenging and requires running an activity.

With this component, administrators can change the queue processor partition count directly from Admin Studio.
