Service Package form – Completing the Pooling tab

Use the Pooling tab to configure a requestor pool for the services in this service package.

Maximum Idle Requestors - Specify the maximum number of idle requestors that can be in the pool for services from this package. If an active requestor becomes idle and is returned to the pool when the current number of idle requestors is at this limit, the requestor is deleted. To allow an unlimited number of idle requestors, set this value to -1;, the system does not delete idle requestors until they time out.
Maximum Active Requestors - Specify how many concurrent requestors can be created and in use for the services in this package. Set this value to 1, even if you have disabled requestor pooling (that is, Maximum Idle Requestors is set to 0). If a service request arrives when the number of active requestors is at this limit, the system waits for an idle requestor. It does not create a requestor for the request. To allow an unlimited number of active requestors, set this value to -1.
Maximum Wait (in seconds) - Specify how long, in seconds, the system waits for a requestor to return to the pool when a service request arrives, but the number of active requestors has reached the Maximum Active Requestors value. If this time interval passes before any requestor returns to the pool, the request fails. The system sends a failure message to the external client system. A value of -1 for the Maximum Active Requestors field indicates that requests never wait. If the pool has no idle requestors, a new one is created.
