Viewing the Process Scheduler Domain Dashboard

Access the Process Scheduler Domain dashboard. (On the Application dashboard, click the process scheduler domain.)

The Process Scheduler Domain dashboard is similar to the Application Server dashboard. The Process Scheduler Domain dashboard provides details of the application engine processes in addition to the domain and system information.

The domain and status information provided on the Process Scheduler domain is similar to the application server dashboard.

For more information, see Domain Information and Status.

The system information provided on the Process Scheduler domain is similar to the application server dashboard.

For more information, see System Information.

The Application Engine section of the dashboard provides basic performance characteristics of the PSAESRV processes running in the domain.

Field or Control	Definition
PSAESRV CPU Load	Displays the CPU utilization (in percentage) by the application engine processes.
PSAESRV Virtual Memory Used	Displays the virtual memory used (in MB) by the application engine processes.
PSAESRV processes	List of PSAESRV processes currently running in the domain and provides the following details: PID - The process ID of the process. CPU% - The CPU utilization by the process. Virtual Mem - Virtual memory used by the process. Last Restart - Displays the date when the process was last restarted. Note: Unlike the Application Server Domain dashboard, you cannot drill down to the individual application engine processes. Note: If all the PSAESRV servers are consistently busy, either add more PSAESRV instances if the host is capable of handling more load, or move some jobs to another host.

PSAESRV CPU Load

Displays the CPU utilization (in percentage) by the application engine processes.

PSAESRV Virtual Memory Used

Displays the virtual memory used (in MB) by the application engine processes.

PSAESRV processes

List of PSAESRV processes currently running in the domain and provides the following details:

PID - The process ID of the process.
CPU% - The CPU utilization by the process.
Virtual Mem - Virtual memory used by the process.
Last Restart - Displays the date when the process was last restarted.

Note: Unlike the Application Server Domain dashboard, you cannot drill down to the individual application engine processes.

Note: If all the PSAESRV servers are consistently busy, either add more PSAESRV instances if the host is capable of handling more load, or move some jobs to another host.

The following table lists the causes for high usage of PSAESRV CPU load and virtual memory, and their resolutions:

Cause	Resolution
Host is overloaded.	Add more hosts to share the workload.
High load due to Process Scheduler's processes.	Monitor the jobs being processed.
Specific Application Engine programs.	Tune these programs.
Server is under-powered.	Move the Process Scheduler domain to a more powerful server.
Virtual memory consumption is high for all processes.	Check whether the Java VM Options setting in the PSMONITORSRV section in the psprcs.cfg file has a very high heap size (-Xmx). If so, lower the heap size.
