Configuring the Embedded BI Publisher Server Load

You can prioritize and queue BI Publisher jobs for optimum results by configuring Percentage of large and small job kernels.

The large report definition jobs will run on the large job kernels and the small report definition jobs will run on small job kernels based on the maximum size defined for the small job kernels in Embedded BI Publisher Server Load Configuration application (P95645).

However, a small report definition job can run on a large job kernel if all the small job kernels are busy and a large job kernel is available. But, a large report definition job will never run on a small job kernel.

To set up the percentage of large and small job kernels:

1. Access the Embedded BI Publisher Server Load Configuration application (P95645).

2. Click Add.

3. Enter the Server Name. Alternatively, you can use the visual assist to select the server name. The Logical Data Source field gets populated automatically.

4. Enter the value in the Percentage of Large Job Kernels field. For example, enter 70.

5. The value 30 is automatically populated in the Percentage of Small Job Kernels field.

   Note:

   The system will not allow the total value of Percentage of Large Job Kernels and Percentage of Small Job Kernels to exceed or deceed 100.

   For example, if you enter a value <X> in the Percentage of Large Job Kernels field, the value <100-X> is automatically populated in the Percentage of Small Job Kernels field and vice versa.

   If you set the Percentage of Large Job Kernels to 0, and Percentage of Small Job Kernels to 100, and run a large report definition job, the job status will remain as WX (Waiting for XML Publishing) since there are no large job kernels available for publishing.

   If you set the percentage of Large Job Kernels to 100, and Percentage of Small Job Kernels to 0, and run a small report definition job, the job will be completed by the large job kernel.

6. Enter the required value in the Max size for Small Job Kernels in MB field. The default value is 10 MB.

7. Click OK.

   Note:

   You must restart the server every time you modify the Embedded BI Publisher Server Load Configuration to make the changes effective.
