Queue management
One of the most powerful features of Rapidminer Server is that it can execute RapidMiner processes eitherimmediatelyor asscheduled processes. Processes can be scheduled to be executed once at a specific point in time or periodically at specific intervals.
Rapidminer Server utilizes a queueing infrastructure where processes are submitted when they are ready for execution. The Job Agent picks up processes once they are made available in the queue and executes them.
Note: A queue can have one or several Job Agents connected to it. Each of these connected Job Agents can execute an arbitrary number of RapidMiner processes concurrently. However, the default value for parallel execution is set to three.
Queues
RapidMiner Server is shipped with a pre-configured queue namedDEFAULT, but it is possible for the user to create additional queues.
Note:所有工作人员在installati初始化on of RapidMiner server will automatically connect to theDEFAULTqueue.
To view this list of queues go toProcesses > Queueslocated on the left side of the page:
This will redirect you to theQueuespage where each configured queue is listed along with it's status information:
