Configuring Services Settings

To set your services settings:

Note: If you are running services and P6 on the same server, you should keep the defaults for the rates settings. If you want to apply the service immediately, set the rates low. Remember that if the server is actively applying the service, all users will experience delays in the application.

Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
In the sidebar select Services/General.
1. Select Enable All Services to enable all services without having to set concurrent threads on each service. If selected, the application will use the concurrent threads for all services. Oracle recommends enabling all services if you are using the Summarize or Apply Actuals features in P6 Professional.
  Ensure the field is clear if you want the application to treat the concurrent threads of services as equal to zero. When you set to false, the values for the threads will stay the same.
2. Select Enable Job Cleanup on Startup to restart recurring jobs that are stuck in the running state.
  Enable Job Cleanup on Startup will start when the application initially launches and will check for any recurring jobs that are running. It will set the status of all running jobs to pending for all databases that have Database/Instance/Auto Start Services enabled. It also follows the Services/Enable All Services setting and will not run if Enable All Services is set to false.
  
  Enable Job Cleanup on Startup can run on a full build or the separate job services application. If you are on a clustered environment, run this service in only one instance.
3. In the Job Service Poll Rate field, enter the rate at which the server polls the database for new jobs to run.
  The default value is 10s.
  
  Enter a value between 1s and 24d20h31m23s647.
4. In the ASAP Cleanup Rate field, enter the rate that the database removes completed WebASAP jobs from the database.
  The default value is 1d.
  
  Enter a value between 1d and 24d.
  
  Once the time is met all ASAP jobs that have a status other than running or delegated will be removed from the table automatically. Running and delegated jobs will be removed if they are older than the cleanup rate or if they are older than one day, whichever is greater.
  
  Note: Confirm that the cleanup rate is greater than your longest running job.
5. In the Job Service Shared Folder Location field, enter the location to store temporary files while they are in the job queue.
