Determining and changing the primary job scheduler
Only one computer can run the job scheduler service at any time.
To determine the primary job scheduler:
- Select Server Management.
- Under Server Management, select Job Scheduler.
The Job Scheduler workspace appears.
The primary job scheduler appears in the Machine name drop-down list.
To change the primary job scheduler:
- Select Server Management.
- Under Server Management, select Job Scheduler.
The Job Scheduler workspace appears.
- In the Primary Job Scheduler section, Machine name drop-down list, select the computer on which to run the Job Scheduler service. If the name of a server in the web farm does not appear (for example, if you renamed it), click Other, and type the name of the computer.
Note: If you rename a computer after installing the Central Designer server application on it, the name of the computer no longer appears in the drop-down list. If you remove a server from the web farm, its name still appears in the list.
- Click Save.
After the Job Scheduler service that was the primary finishes processing the requests that were in its queue, it becomes idle. The new primary job scheduler processes all new requests.
