Server Status

The Status column on the Server List page indicates the current state of a PeopleSoft Process Scheduler server. Knowing the status of a server helps you identify a problem if the server has an error. This table describes each server status:

Status Description

Running

Server is active and querying the process request for any queued request to schedule.

Running With No Report Node

The server has not been assigned a report node in the server definition, so reports with output destination of Web will remain in posting status until a report node is specified.

Note: Server is active and querying the process request for any queued request to schedule.

Down

Server was shut down.

Suspended - Disk Low

Server determined that the current Log/Output directory is below the disk threshold specified in the Process Scheduler configuration file. The server will not schedule new requests until space becomes available.

Suspended - Offline

Server is suspended because current day and time is not within the allowed operation times defined in the server definition.

Overload

The amount of CPU or memory used exceeds the percentage value thresholds entered. The server will wait to launch any new processes.
