Determining When to Run Process Scheduler Steps

Running the ProcessScheduler step type is designed to improve performance and quicken completion times of long-running, data-intensive steps, that can be run in parallel in an application upgrade. In most cases, the steps that would require Process Scheduler processing are delivered in your upgrade template configured to run on a Process Scheduler server. However, if you are creating a custom template, decide that improved performance can be gained by running a step through Process Scheduler, as opposed to running through a remote agent, you can configure a process to be run by a ProcessScheduler step.

Before setting up an upgrade process to be run through Process Scheduler:

• always consult your specific upgrade documentation for any recommendations, considerations, or restrictions.

• make sure Process Scheduler is configured and defined within your upgrade environment.

Note:

Refer to the PeopleSoft upgrade documentation for your upgrade path for additional information.
