Change the frequency of auction scheduler jobs
You can change the frequency with which the scheduler performs commands relating to auctions.
The scheduler performs these jobs:
Command Action Frequency in seconds MonitorAuctions Starts and stops auctions. 120 ProcessOpenCryBids Determines high bid and lowest winning bid. 300 ProcessDutchBids Updates the available quantity for Dutch auctions. 310 ProcessAutoBids Submits bids from autobids. 320 FinalizeAuction Determines winners for Open Cry and Sealed Bid auctions. 600 CompleteOrder Creates orders from winning bids. 14400 DoAuctionNotify Sends unread messages to customers as e-mail. 850
To change the frequency for an auction command, use the following SQL statement:
update schconfig set sccinterval=frequency where sccpathinfo='command name'
where frequency is the frequency in seconds, and command name is the name of the auction command.
For example, to change the frequency of the MonitorAuction command to 90 seconds, type:
update schconfig set sccinterval=90 where sccpathinfo='MonitorAuction'
