PeopleSoft Process Scheduler Process System Settings

Retention Days  

·         Enter the number of days before the files that are on the report repository are deleted. This value is used with the current date to calculate the expiration date on reports in Report Manager.

Primary Operating System  

·         Enter the default operating system. A run location of Any picks a server of this type.

·         Note. If blank, the request will be scheduled by a Process Scheduler server with the default O/S.

System Load Balancing Option

Select to assign to Primary O/S Only or Server in Any O/S.

Assign To Primary O/S Only: Select to have Master Scheduler reassign workload to another Process Scheduler server with the primary O/S

·         Assign To Server In Any O/S: Select to have Master Scheduler reassign workload to any available Process Scheduler server.

·         When Do Not Use Option is selected on the Server Definition page, the server takes a request only when the name of the server has been specified on the Process Request page or in any of the definition tables.

Note. This is used in conjunction with a Master Scheduler server. This field will be ignored if no Master Scheduler server is available to perform the load balancing.
