Scheduling

Definition

System configuration settings that relate to the SAP CC schedulers and corresponding jobs scheduled in the SAP CC system. Specialized internal functions manage the different business processes (activation, alerts) and technical processes (cleanup, SLD, business metrics).

Description

This group includes all the system parameters used to configure the internal schedulers of the SAP CC Core Server system. Depending on the types of the SAP CC system instances, different schedulers are available. They are specialized and manage different business processes (activation, alerts) and technical processes (cleanup, SLD, business metrics).

Tip: You can monitor the internal activity of the SAP CC schedulers, see the Scheduler metric node.

Notes

• All the system parameters XXX_SCHEDULER_ENABLED enable scheduling functions but do not trigger any execution. When you change the value to true, the scheduler function becomes ready to launch new jobs in the corresponding instance of the SAP CC Core Server system.
  It is not an indication that the scheduler is currently running jobs. For monitoring the internal activities, you can use the performance and health metrics reported in CA Introscope for SAP and defined in the SAP CC Metric Reference and Performance Troubleshooting.
• Although the scheduler is not enabled, it can nevertheless run jobs that have been started before the scheduler has been disabled.

Setting Up or Viewing System Parameters
