WF-BATCH takes all dialog processes

Tue Jul 26 01:49:15 EDT 2005

Consider using rfc parallel server groups to maximise Event processing
whilst leaving an acceptable amount of system resource available.

See SWEQADM event delivery tab. See the parallel option.
Parallel RFC server groups are defined in RZ12.

Yep, the number of events is the amount that will be processed every
minute. Event = dialog process to start a workflow.
