Workload Management sample

This sample demonstrates how an IBM Integration Bus administrator can control the rate at which message flows process data without redesigning the message flow. For more background on this capability, read the Workload Management documentation.

The default behavior of a message flow is to process work as fast as possible, with no delay between messages or records. If a message flow calls a back-end system during its processing, and the message flow receives an unexpectedly high volume of work, the back-end system might be put under an unexpectedly high load.

Using this sample, you can demonstrate how using Workload Management features on the outbound message flow can limit the rate at which the message flow is processed, and so avoid overloading the back-end application.
