Global dilation throughout the system (REQUEST-DELAY-MAX) is a threshold value for the dilation of all tasks belonging to a category with a dilation range. When this value is exceeded, load limitation goes into effect.
THROUGHPUT-QUOTA specifies a percentage value that determines the relation between response-time and throughput optimization for the entire system. The parameter has a very pronounced effect on the limit values:
THROUGHPUT-QUOTA=0
results in hard response-time optimization. This means that background categories are totally suppressed in the event of an overload (exceeding the value of the global system parameter REQUEST-DELAY-MAX). As a consequence, utilization of the resources and thus the throughput may be impaired.THROUGHPUT-QUOTA=100
is only used for pure batch mode.
