How to limit provisioning task to a batch of entries from the queue

Hi Folks,

In our IDM system we have 60000 entries sitting in the provisioning queue for a single repository for a single task. The provisioning task handles such amount of entries very slow working for days.

I'm wondering if it's possible to limit somehow the provisioning task to a certain batch of entries from the queue. Let say, to force somehow the provisioning task to handle TOP 1000 entries at once and then finish. In such a way it will start multiple times to process the 60000 entries, but each iteration of the task will not longer than 1000 entries.

I have the idea to overwrite the default view MXPROV_ENTRIES for the task to return top 1000 entries only. Do you think this will work ?

Any other ideas please welcome.

Thank you a lot!
