If you are running services and P6 on the same server, you should keep the defaults. If you want to sync 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 synchronizing, all users will experience delays in the application.
To set your Sync Remaining To Planned settings:
- Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
- In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
- In the sidebar select Services/Job Services.
- Select Sync Units.
- Under Sync Remaining to Planned:
- In the Enabled field, select false to disable the SyncRemainingtoPlanned service. Select true to enable the SyncRemainingtoPlanned service.
- In the Execution Interval field, enter the amount of time the service will wait before checking for any SyncRemainingtoPlanned jobs. The SyncRemainingtoPlanned service will poll the job service table, and the execution interval will determine when it starts.
The default value is 5m.
Enter a value between 1s and 24d20h31m23s647.
- In the ActivityThreshold field, determine if the SyncRemainingtoPlanned service will run simultaneously or as a job service.
If the number of activities in a project is over the activity threshold, the SyncRemainingtoPlanned will run as a job service and add an entry to the job service table. The SyncRemainingtoPlanned service will poll the job service table, and the execution interval will determine when it starts. If the number of activities in a project is under the activity threshold, it will run immediately and will not add an entry to the job service table.
The default value is 8000.
Enter a value between 1 and 30000.
- In the Concurrent Threads field, enter the number of processes used for the SyncRemainingtoPlanned service on this server. A value of 0 indicates that the service is not available on this server.
The default value is 2.
Enter a value between 0 and 20.
