6.2. Enabling Prioritized Transactions

The first thing you must do to prioritize your transactions is to enable priority queues on the server. You do this by setting the property deployment.systemsettings.priorities.enabled to true in the database configuration. For example:

deployment:
   systemsettings:
      priorities:
         enabled: true

You must set this property when you initialize the database root directory. You cannot change the queueing behavior after the database starts.
