Modifying job schedules

Configure how frequently certain server jobs run. The amount of time necessary to complete a given job depends on the number of assets in the repository or the number of users and groups in the registry.

Procedure

  1. Log into IBM® Rational® Asset Manager web client as a repository administrator.
  2. Click Administration.
  3. In the Repository Administration sidebar, click Configuration.
  4. In the Job Schedules section, select from the following recurring jobs to edit:
    • Statistics index builder schedule is the schedule for updating information provided in the Repository Statistics page, the Asset Statistics page, and the home page.
    • The Process subscriptions schedule is the schedule for sending email subscriptions to subscribers. Typically, this would be scheduled to run once per day.
      Note: The Process subscriptions schedule is based on the type of subscription and works for Asset, Forum, and Topic subscriptions - not all subscriptions. For example, if you configure the schedule to run every 1 minute then only Asset, Forum, and Topic subscriptions will be notified of events that happened in the last minute. All search result subscriptions are processed 1 time every 24 hours.
    • The User/group information update schedule is the schedule for how often information is updated from, and written to, the user directory. Information in an LDAP registry is not updated through this process, however; any recent updates to the information in an LDAP registry is updated in the Rational Asset Manager user information.
    • The Review process notifications schedule is the schedule for processing alerts to reviewers indicating that an asset requires their review. For example, if set to one hour, then the notifications for all new assets created within the hour are sent at the beginning of the next hour.
    • The Artifact cache refresh schedule is the schedule for refreshing the cache of artifacts that have been downloaded.
  5. For each job, edit the frequency for the jobs. Click Edit, and then select from the following options:
    1. To run the job at a certain interval of hours or minutes, select Schedule job to run at interval, type a number, and then select Minutes or Hours from the drop-down list.
    2. To run the job once per day or once per week, select Schedule job to run at a set time, select Every day or a specific day of the week, and then select a time from the drop-down list.
  6. Click Save.
