Scheduled Task Handling

Previous Next

Scheduled Task Handling

This option allows you to load balance as needed in a a multi-coordinator environment. Specifically, it allows you to specify which coordinators should handle purge, archive, and scheduled reports jobs. This is helpful in situations where some coordinators are busier than others due to closer agent load or they are further removed from the database.

By default, all coordinators are allowed to process scheduled jobs.

To specify coordinators to handle scheduled jobs:
1
Click Select allowed coordinators.
2
Check the coordinators that you want to used for scheduled jobs. All other coordinators will be blocked from processing these jobs.
