Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Tom McKay 2012-09-17 19:14:05 UTC 
The katello-jobs service has an option in /etc/sysconfig/katello KATELLO_JOB_WORKERS to control the number of threads. This option needs to be exposed via katello-configure.

As a side note, I see the following in that file

# number of katello-job service background workers
#KATELLO_JOB_WORKERS=1

# additional katello-job service options for delayed_jobs
#KATELLO_JOB_WORKERS=-m -p katello

which seems incorrect. Is that second one supposed to be named differently? It too needs to be settable via katello-configure
Comment 2 Lukas Zapletal 2012-09-18 07:39:30 UTC 
Yeah it's a typo. The latter should be: KATELLO_JOB_PARAMS. I can add that to katello-configure.

Comment 5 Lukas Zapletal 2012-09-18 09:50:29 UTC 
Doc text:

New katello-configure installer option called --job-workers which defines how many background job workers should CFSE use for promotions and other background tasks (excluding synchronization jobs). Default is 1.

FYI you can do review of all installer options reading man katello-configure.
Comment 6 Garik Khachikyan 2012-09-18 09:52:30 UTC 
# COMMENT

and how to check the running threads count for background jobs? what/where to grep please?
Comment 7 Garik Khachikyan 2012-09-18 10:00:00 UTC 
assigning Hayk H. as QE contact.
Comment 8 Lukas Zapletal 2012-09-18 11:57:49 UTC 
QA: grep KATELLO_JOB_WORKERS /etc/sysconfig/katello
Comment 9 Garik Khachikyan 2012-09-18 12:05:17 UTC 
any other way to detect that like: there are 2 parallel jobs working, grep of the `ps` or ?
Comment 10 Lukas Zapletal 2012-09-21 08:45:43 UTC 
# ps axu | grep delayed_job
katello   4998  0.0  9.6 308128 173116 ?       S    Sep20   0:45 katello/delayed_job                             
katello   4999  0.0  6.3 307144 114816 ?       S    Sep20   0:00 delayed_job_monitor                             
root     19127  0.0  0.0   6380   684 pts/0    S+   10:44   0:00 grep delayed_job

Each ONE worker has TWO processes, one is called delayed_job_monitor and one katello/delayed_job.

Now if we configure "job-workers=2" it runs 2 instances of both "delayed_job*" jobs.
