IdleWorkers - Idle workers available to run tasks

Description

The IdleWorkers property value indicates which workers are currently available to the job manager for the performance of job tasks.

Characteristics

Usage	Job manager object
Read-only	Always
Data type	Array of worker objects

Values

As workers complete tasks and assume new ones, the lists of workers in BusyWorkers and IdleWorkers can change rapidly. If you examine these two properties at different times, you might see the same worker on both lists if that worker has changed its status between those times.

If a worker stops unexpectedly, the job manager's knowledge of that as a busy or idle worker does not get updated until the job manager runs the next job and tries to send a task to that worker.

Examples

Examine which workers are available to a job manager for immediate use to perform tasks.

jm = findResource('scheduler','type','jobmanager', ...
          'name','MyJobManager','LookupURL','JobMgrHost');
get(jm, 'NumberOfIdleWorkers')
