Configuring a Process Server

Configuring a process server enables you to tune the way it handles processes and resources.

For most customers, the default settings are satisfactory, especially at implementation time.

The configuration of a process server can be done at any time, the new settings require a restart of the process server, to become active.

note

You configure process servers that connect to SAP systems via the SAP System object in Redwood Server.

Procedure

  1. Choose "Environment > Process Servers".
  2. From the context-menu of the process server, choose Edit.
  3. Fill in the fields on the different tabs, refer to the Creating Process Servers section for the values.
  4. Choose Save and Close.

Example

A process server is running low on resources and important financial processes are not being processed in the expected time frame. Further analysis shows that there are time consuming but low priority processes running. One queue provider, named MSLN_PRD_LW, is held, to prevent low priority processes to be executed on this process server, other process servers are serving this queue. Another queue, MSLN_PRD_EM contains both low and high priority processes, after analysis the important processes have a priority of 80, by setting the hold level to 80 the other processes run on the remaining process servers serving this queue.

  1. Choose "Environment > Process Servers".
  2. From the context-menu of the process server, choose Edit.
  3. Choose the QueueProviders tab.
  4. Choose MSLN_PRD_LW and select Held.
  5. Choose MSLN_PRD_EM and enter 80 into the field Hold Level.
  6. Choose Save and Close.

The process server needs to be restarted, the best way to do this is to hold all queue providers and wait until all processes have finished, then restart the process server and open all queue providers. Holding a queue provider only affects one process server.

Enabling Process Server

Process server and queue monitoring is disabled by default for performance reasons. You set the /configuration/jcs/monitoring/enabled configuration entry to true to enable monitoring and for each process server you wish to monitor, you set the MonitorInterval process server parameters.
