This Office product will reach end of support on October 10, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see , Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.
Description
Specifies the number of workflows that can be processed (that is, using the processor, not idle) at the same time across all front-end Web servers.
Throttle is a limit across all workflows; however, batch size is the number of events processed for a single instance, which can have many events queued at the same time. Throttle overrides batch size; that is, if the workflow instance cannot be started or restarted because there are too many instances running across all front-end Web servers, none of the events will be fetched, regardless of the batch size.
Syntax
stsadm -o setproperty
-propertyname workflow-eventdelivery-throttle
-propertyvalue <A valid integer>
[-url] <http://server_name>
The syntax for the getproperty operation is:
stsadm -o getproperty
propertyname workflow-eventdelivery-throttle
[-url] <http://server_name>

A valid integer. For example, if the value is set to 15, 15 workflows are active in memory, and the sixteenth workflow automatically starts. The auto-start will be sent to the timer service to be processed later. The default value is 15. |

Typically, a path to the URL of the Web application, in the form http://server_name. |
