Setting the PS_SchedServer Data Management Properties

Use the Data Management PS_SchedServer agent properties to set the sample frequency.
To set the data management properties:
1
Go to the Data Management set of properties.
2
Enter the collection interval in the Sample Frequency (seconds) box.
The collection rate, or sample frequency, is the number of seconds between the end of a collection period and the start of the next.
The default is 300 seconds.
3
Ignore the PS_SchedServer Table Data Purge Days list. This field is not functional.
4
Click Save.
5
Go to the Setting the PS_AppServer PeopleSoft Parameters section.

Setting the PS_SchedServer PeopleSoft Parameters

To set the PeopleSoft parameters:
1
Go to the PeopleSoft Parameters set of properties.
2
Choose the list from the Edit Process List that you want to update.
3
Click Edit.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Use Add or Delete only when directed to by Dell Support.
A dialog box appears.
 
* 
NOTE: The default Process List name is a global list, which is applied to all PeopleSoft monitoring within a Foglight Management Server. In order to prevent false monitoring of a non-existing process for a particular PeopleSoft application server domain, the Process List name must be changed to a unique name.

For uniqueness, the PeopleSoft application server domain Process List name must be entered using the naming convention “<AgentName><HostName>”.

For example, by default the Process List name is “ProcessList”. Create a new list name with following name PS_PT843ORA_9000_houqau29, where:
- PS_PT843ORA_9000 is the deployed Agent Name.
- houqau29 is the HostName.
This information is case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as it appears on the Foglight Console where the PS_AppServer Agent is deployed.
4
Add an entry to the list by clicking Add Row.
Fill in the dialog box fields.
•
Click the Monitor Process radio button, True or False, to monitor the associated process.
 
* 
NOTE: For People Tools v8.47 and above, a new default process, “PSANALYTICSRV”, is also displayed in addition to the above processes.
 
* 
NOTE: PeopleSoft processes are preselected to be monitored based on the PeopleTools version. For example, BBL, JREPSRV, JSL, PSAPPSRV, PSSAMSRV, and WSL.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Do not add or delete processes to the Monitored Process List. Only existing processes should be modified.
5
Click Save Changes.
6
Enter the maximum number of clients to monitor each cycle in the Number of Clients to monitor box.
 
* 
NOTE: This value limits data collection for the Clients table. The maximum number of clients that can be collected per collection interval is 50.
7
Select True or False for the Monitor Tuxedo Log option to monitor the Tuxedo log for all errors and warnings except LIBTUX_CAT warnings. Error counts are maintained for each unique error condition to prevent the possibility of alert storms. Data collection is limited to 25 rows per interval.
The Monitor Tuxedo Log is selected by default.
 
* 
NOTE: To disable data collection and to prevent data from posting to the LogMessages table, click the False option.
8
Click Save.
 
* 
NOTE: For help configuring the other agent properties, see the Foglight online help.

Investigating Domain Performance

Use PS_SchedServer to monitor PeopleSoft Process Scheduler server domain request and queuing activity. Identify domain behavior to determine the Process Scheduler server configuration necessary to achieve optimal performance.
Use the PS_SchedServer Agent to answer the following questions.
•
What period during the day is my peak processing load?
•
Do I have Request queuing?
•
Will increasing the number of PSAESRVs increase my performance?
•
Can my Process Scheduler server’s CPU and memory resources support additional PSAESRV services?
•
Am I experiencing process spawning? Is this causing scheduler server resource thrashing?
To start your investigation your investigation with the PS_SchedServer_Domain_Overview graph view:
•
Go to the PS_SchedServer_Domain_Overview graph view which displays the queue length, request activity and availability during the collection period.

Investigating Domain Utilization

One of the most common performance problems with PeopleSoft Process Scheduler servers is a lack of memory resources. As a rule of thumb, the total memory usage of the combined PeopleSoft processes should not exceed 70 percent of the physical memory on the scheduler server. If it does, you need to either add more memory or reduce the number of services utilizing the PSADMIN utility.
Use the PS_SchedServer Agent to answer the following questions.
•
What is my scheduler server resource usage?
•
Is CPU or memory usage increasing? Is the number of requests increasing?
•
Does the scheduler server have enough resources to support additional services?
•
Are all instances of a service process available?
To start your investigation with the PS_SchedServer_Domain_Utilization_Overview graph view:
Go to the PS_SchedServer_Domain_Utilization_Overview graph view which provides resource utilization and availability measurements for a PeopleSoft Process Scheduler server domain.
