Editing the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Configuration File for UNIX

This section discusses the differences in parameter descriptions for UNIX operating system.

Process Scheduler Section

The following table lists the Process Scheduler section parameters for UNIX (rather than Windows):

Parameter Description

ProgramName

Specify the name of the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler program, PSPRCSRV.

PrcsServerName

Specify the process server name. This must match the name defined in the server definition, such as PSUNX.

Max Reconnect Attempt

Specify the maximum number of times that the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Server Agent will try to reconnect to the database when the connection is lost. When the maximum number of attempts is reached and the agent hasn’t successfully connected to the database, the agent shuts down.

Reconnection Interval

Specify the interval, in seconds, between attempts to reconnect to the database when a connection is lost.

Log/Output Directory

Specify the directory in which files that are generated by the program are written. When PeopleSoft Process Scheduler initiates a process request, it creates a subdirectory in the format <Process Type ID>_<Program Name>_<Process Instance> that contains the generated files. For example, the SQR program has all reports, trace, and log files in the subdirectory SQR_XRFWIN_20. It is also the optional directory used with the Output Destination field when scheduling a request. This variable (%%OutputDirectory%%) can be used in the File/Printer field of the Process Scheduler Request dialog box.

Note: The output directory has an extra slash attached at the end.

LogFence

Enter the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler tracing levels.

DEFAULTPRINTER

Specify the UNC path of the printer where reports are printed when the %DefaultPrinter% was specified as the output destination.
