Tuning Parameter : BALANCING

Question

Hi,
We have been using the below 2 paramters to increase the Parallel Processing of Queues.
TUNING    EO_INBOUND_PARALLEL
TUNING    EO_OUTBOUND_PARALLEL
Now we are interested to Evenly distribute the Messages in the increased no of Queues with the below 2 Parameters.
TUNING  B_EO_IN_PARALLEL
TUNING  B_EO_OUT_PARALLEL
Parameter  BALANCING
The parameter BALANCING activates the entries for the parameters B_EO_IN_PARALLEL_SENDER, B_EO_OUT_PARALLEL, and B_EO_IN_PARALLEL. If the queues are redistributed,  it is automatically deactivated so that the messages can be processed 'normally' again.  To prevent locking conflicts, therefore, exit the editing mode for configuration maintenance once you have set the parameter.
Possible Values
0 (deactivated), 1 (activated)
we have to created BALANCING Parameter with value "1". It immeditely turns into "0". It never turns back to "1" although Queues are not balanced.
Is BALANCING automatic process of Balancing (or) We have to Manually turn on Balancing to "1" whenever we see a particualr Queue Overloaded.
Thanks,
Tanuj

Hi,
In EO_INBOUND_TO_OUTBOUND, you can specify the TUNING category so that a message is not placed in the outbound queue as usual; instead the message is processed and sent entirely in the inbound queue.
Refer the configuration parameter for it

How to check message got processed in the inbound queue,,?
You can refer SMQ1 SMQ2 and ragister in SMQR
I think you could monitor it in SXMB_MONI provided you have set the Trace level properly i.e. 1 in SXMB_ADM --> Integration Engine ---> Specific configuration --> Trace and Log have to set current value as 1.
Set EO_INBOUND_TO_OUTBOUND=1 if
- outbound calls take too long (as this blocks processing queues)
- receiver is not fast enough (also prevents receiver overload)
- expensive CBR (content based routing) is used (reason: if an error occurs the whole pipeline must be re-processed)
Set EO_INBOUND_TO_OUTBOUND=0 if
- only IDoc/Rfc outbound adapters are used (as tRfc layer is fast and can handle quotas)
- receiver is fast and can’t get overloaded
- no expensive CBR (content based routing) is used
