If you are running services and P6 on the same server, you should keep the defaults. If you have scheduling work that needs to be done immediately, you should set the Interval low (for example, 10s) and the Concurrent Threads high (for example, 20). Remember that if the server is actively scheduling work, all users will experience delays in the application.
To set your scheduler settings:
- Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
- In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
- In the sidebar select Services/Job Services.
- Select Scheduler.
- In the Interval field, enter the amount of time the Web Scheduler will wait before scheduling the next available job.
The default value is 10s.
Enter a value between 1s and 24d20h31m23s647.
- In the Concurrent Threads field, enter the number of processes (active schedulers) used for scheduling on this server. A value of 0 indicates that scheduling will not perform on this server.
The default value is 2.
Enter a value between 0 and 20.
- In the Active Mode field, select true if you want jobs processed continuously until all jobs are scheduled. Select false if you want each job processed according to the Scheduling Interval.
- In the Load All Calendars Till Threshold field, select true. The default value is true.
- In the Interval field, enter the amount of time the Web Scheduler will wait before scheduling the next available job.
