Changing the Default Scheduler for Generating Reports

By default, CentraSite contains the default settings for report scheduler. The default scheduler is set to run at 1 AM each night and use 8 threads to execute the scheduled reports. If necessary, you can specify a different scheduler.

CentraSite uses the global values set for ReportSchedulingTime and ReportSchedulingThreads to execute the default report scheduler. By default, ReportSchedulingTime is set to 1 AM and ReportSchedulingThreads is set to 8.

To reschedule the scheduler to run at a different time (other than the default 1 AM) and the number of threads (other than the default 8), change the global values set for ReportSchedulingTime and ReportSchedulingThreads in the centrasite.xml file.

1. Open the customization file, centrasite.xml, in a rich text editor.

You can find the centrasite.xml file on <CentraSiteInstall_Directory>\cast\cswebapps\BusinessUI\custom\conf.

2. Locate the property named <ReportSchedulingSettings> in the configuration file.

The property <ReportSchedulingSettings> is commented and would look like the following:

3. Clear the comment for the property <ReportSchedulingSettings>.

4. Change the default values set for the report scheduler properties - ReportSchedulingTime and ReportSchedulingThreads.

Property	Description
ReportSchedulingTime	Specifies the hour of day when reports are checked for daily execution. For example, if you want to execute a report at 10 PM, then you would specify a value of 22.
ReportSchedulingThreads	Specifies the number of threads to be used for reports execution.

6. Restart Software AG Runtime for the changes to take effect.

If at a later time, you want to switch to the default scheduler settings, comment the property <ReportSchedulingSettings>, and then restart Software AG Runtime.
