If you are running services and P6 on the same server, you should keep the defaults. If you want the server to import or export enterprise data 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 importing or exporting enterprise data, all users will experience delays in the application.
To configure the Import/Export Enterprise Data settings:
- Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
- In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
- In the sidebar select Services/Job Services.
- Select Import/Export Enterprise Data.
- In the Interval field, enter the amount of time to wait before running the next available job (in 1d1h1m1s format, specifying only numbers without letters implies milliseconds).
The default value is 10s.
Enter a value between 1s and 24d.
- In the Concurrent Threads field, enter the number of processes used for this service on this server. A value of 0 indicates that that this job will not run 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 finish. Select false if you want each job processed according to the Interval.
- In the Maximum Duration field, enter the maximum activity duration that the Import/Export Enterprise Data service will handle.
The default value is 100,000.
Enter a value between 0 and 2147483647.
- In the Interval field, enter the amount of time to wait before running the next available job (in 1d1h1m1s format, specifying only numbers without letters implies milliseconds).
