Scheduler Settings

The scheduler component controls task scheduling in Identity Manager.

To configure scheduler settings on a particular server,

1. Follow the steps under Using the Administrator Interface to Configure Identity Manager.

2. Select the Scheduler tab.

   You can accept the default values or deselect the Use default option to specify the following custom values.

   • Scheduler Startup. Select a startup mode for the scheduler on this server:

     • Automatic. Starts when the server is started. This is the default startup mode.

     • Manual. Starts when the server is started, but remains suspended until manually started.

     • Disabled. Does not start when the server is started.

   • Tracing Enabled. Select this option to activate scheduler debug tracing to standard output on this server.

   • Maximum Concurrent Tasks. Select this option to specify the maximum number of tasks, other than the default, that the Scheduler will run at any one time. Requests for additional tasks above this limit will either be deferred until later or run on another server.

   • Task Restrictions. Specify the set of tasks that can execute on the server. To do this, select one or more tasks from the list of available tasks. The list of selected tasks can be an inclusion or exclusion list depending on the option you select. You can choose to allow all tasks except those selected in the list (the default behavior), or allow only the selected tasks.

3. Click Save to save your changes to the server settings.
