Setting Daemon Process Options

To access the Daemon page, select PeopleTools, and then Process Scheduler, and then Process Scheduler Servers, and then Daemon.

A daemon process is an Application Engine process that runs continuously when PeopleSoft Process Scheduler is operational. It triggers other application engine processes based on the daemon group that is entered.

Field or Control	Description
Daemon Sleep Time	Schedule a sleep time to control the activity of the process. Because the daemon is a process that runs in the background, it should not run continuously. A sleep time is the number of minutes for which the daemon process sleeps, or waits, before it checks for work. When it wakes, it checks for processes that have been and need to be run on this process server.
Recycle Count	A cycle is the sequence of sleeping and working. The system automatically counts the number of times that it sleeps and works. When it reaches the recycle count value, the daemon process reboots itself.
