Parent Topic:Server API reference
GlideEventManager - GlideEventManager(String queueName)
Instantiates a GlideEventManager object.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| queueName | String | Name of a queue for an event listed in the Event Registry [sysevent_register] table. If no queue is provided, GlideEventManager processes against the default queue. |
The following example shows how to instantiate a GlideEventManager object.
var eventMgr = new GlideEventManager('my_queue');
GlideEventManager - process(Number limit)
Processes the eligible events in a queue.
You can use the limit parameter to identify a range of process_on times for events in the queue and it isn’t a hard limit. For example, if the limit is 10, the system looks for the 10 oldest pending process_on times. If multiple events have the same process_on time, more than 10 events might be claimed (that is, ready to process).
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| limit | Number | Optional. Limits the number of events claimed. If this value isn’t passed, no limit is applied. |
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| None |
The following example shows how to limit the number of events processed to roughly 200.
GlideEventManager('my_event_queue').process(200);
