If you are running services and P6 on the same server, you should keep the defaults. If you have summarizing 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 doing summarizing work, all users will experience delays in the application.
To set your summarizer settings:
- Open the Primavera P6 Administrator.
- In the Configurations drop-down list, select your configuration.
- In the sidebar select Services/Job Services.
- Select Summarizer.
- In the Interval field, enter the amount of time the Summarizer will wait before summarizing 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 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 to Summarize field, enter the maximum activity duration that the summarizer will handle. Any projects that contain activities with durations longer than this setting will fail summarization and an error will be displayed for that project.
The default value is 100,000.
- In the Interval field, enter the amount of time the Summarizer will wait before summarizing the next available job.
