Considering performance for timeout flows

When you design timeout flows, the decisions that you make can affect the performance of your integration nodes and applications.

You can use the timeout nodes TimeoutControl and TimeoutNotification in your message flows to control the way in which your message flows operate:

Although you can use a TimeoutNotification node to cause nodes in a message flow to poll for the next item of work, this approach forces a delay between each transaction, and typically does not provide an efficient solution. If you want to periodically check a resource for the next piece of work, and process it immediately, consider one or more of the following alternative solutions:

A message flow that uses these options can process more work overall than it can if you implement a timeout solution, and incurs lower CPU cost, although your initial development costs might be slightly higher.
