Scheduler Properties

Schedulers execute operations that have been defined and submitted from a Vector AM Console. They enable you to run operations when network activity is low, and to automate regular tasks, such as the performance of software inventories. Schedulers can be installed on any Vector AM Console that can access the Site database and offline area.

To display and change the properties of a Scheduler:

1    Select Scheduler in the Console's Jobs & Schedulers folder. All available Schedulers for the current Site are displayed in the Schedulers view.

2    Right-click the Scheduler you want to work with, and choose Properties from the shortcut menu. The Host Details dialog is displayed. It contains information on the current status of the Scheduler, when it was started and how many jobs it has run since it was last started.

3    If you want to change the frequency with which the Scheduler checks for new jobs, enter a new value in the Wakeup interval.

4    If you want to change the maximum number of jobs that can be run simultaneously by the Scheduler, change the Maximum active jobs value. Enter 0 to specify no limit.

5    Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.
