Cluster Only: Assigning Tasks to Nodes

Use

Content Management (CM) services, like index management and content exchange, regularly generate tasks. In an Application Server Java (AS Java) cluster, you must assign these tasks to a CM instance otherwise they will not be executed. You assign each task to a single CM instance, making sure that there is an even distribution of tasks to all the available instances.

For more information about the purpose of the tasks, see Scheduler Tasks .

Procedure

In the portal, access the Knowledge Management configuration settings with System Administration → System Configuration → Knowledge Management → Content Management.
Choose Global Services → SchedulerTasks.
A list of scheduler classes is displayed.
Assign a CM system to each task class that is displayed:
- Attachment Empty Collection Scheduler Task
- Attachment Scheduler Task
- Check Valid From
- Check Valid Until
- CleanJobTask
- CM Repository GC
- Content Exchange Task Queue Reader
- Index Management Task Queue Reader
- Polling Scheduler Task
- Report Scheduler Task
- Scheduler for Deadline Task
- WebRepository GC
- Workflow Attachment Task
To assign a task to a system:
1. Click the task you want to edit. In the next screen, use the checkbox to select the task again and choose Edit.
  
  Note
  
  Some tasks like the Polling Scheduler Task are comprised of subtasks. Make sure that you select each subtask before assigning a CM system.
2. Under System ID, select the system where the task is to run and save the entry.
3. Under Time Table, select the time at which the task must be executed.
  If you cannot find an appropriate time, you can add an entry to the Time Table under System Administration → System Configuration → Knowledge Management → Content Management →Global Services (Show Advanced Options) → Scheduler Time Table. Once you have created a new entry, it will be available for selection when you schedule a task.
