After you have created a dedicated queue for prioritized execution of Transactions, Templates, or Process Flows, you need to create a corresponding runtime deployment that can subscribe to and process the messages of that Queue. 

To create a runtime deployment, follow the instructions given below.

  1. On the Account menu, click Maintenance.  
  2. In the left panel, select Deployments.

  3. On the Deployments manage page, click Create Deployment.

  4. In the Add Deployment window, enter the details in the following fields. 

    FieldDescription
    Name A name for the deployment.
    Description A description for the deployment.
    Minimum PodThe minimum number of pods you want to start with.
    Maximum PodThe maximum number of pods you want to have in the deployment.
    CPU RequestThe minimum CPU cores you want to allocate to a pod in the deployment.
    CPU LimitThe maximum CPU cores a pod in the deployment can use.
    Memory RequestThe minimum memory you want to allocate to a pod in the deployment.
    Memory LimitThe maximum memory a pod in the deployment can use.
    Concurrency The maximum number of RabbitMQ messages that a pod can process at a time.
    JVM Parameters The JVM parameters you want to specify for a pod.

  5. Click Save.

    For default values for these fields, refer to the section Deployment Configuration on the page Microservice Settings - Runtime.

Activating a deployment 

A deployment that you have created can process the messages of a queue only when the deployment is active. You can activate a deployment by turning it ON on the Deployments manage page.

Prerequisite

Before you activate a deployment, you need to subscribe the deployment to a queue which is in active state.

It may take a while for the deployment to go into the active state.

Subscribing a deployment to a queue 

To subscribe the deployment to an active queue, follow the steps given below.

  1. Select the deployment that you want to view.
  2. Click the  icon under Actions column.

  3. Click Subscribe Queue.

  4. On the Subscribe Queue window, select the Queue you want the deployment to subscribe to, and click Save.

  • A deployment can subscribe to only one active queue at a time.
  • You can unsubscribe a deployment only when it is not in active state. To deactivate a deployment, go to the deployment on the Deployments manage page, and then use the OFF/ON toggle switch to turn it OFF. Deactivating the deployment terminates the associated runtime service and gives you the option for unsubscribing the deployment (More > Unsubscribe Queue).

Viewing a deployment

You can view an existing deployment by following the steps given below.

  1. Select the deployment that you want to view.
  2. Click the  icon under Actions column.

  3. Click View.

    You'll be able to view all the details of the deployment. 

You can also edit () or delete () a Deployment from the View window.
