Scheduler Tasks 

Definition

In Knowledge Management, scheduler tasks are automatically started and executed at predefined times by the scheduler service. The tasks originate from different CM applications and services.

 

Use

In a load-balancing environment, scheduler tasks are distributed amongst various CM installations in order to increase performance.

 

Structure

The following scheduler tasks are used in KM:

 

·        Scheduler Tasks for Time-Based Publishing

·        Content Exchange Task Queue Reader

·        Index Service Task Queue Reader

·        Polling Scheduler Task

·        Garbage Collector Scheduler Tasks

·        Report Scheduler Task

 

In a load-balancing environment you have to assign a node of the cluster (on which the task is to be carried out) to every scheduler task.

 

Integration

You can use the component monitor to display an overview of all nodes in the load-balancing environment with the assigned scheduler tasks. Choose Services ® Scheduler in the component monitor. If a task is not assigned to a node, a red symbol is displayed. If this is the case, check the configuration of the corresponding task.
