Choose a scheduler for a job
Overview
Activities uses the open source Quartz scheduler.
The Activities server uses one of the following schedulers to run its jobs:
local Jobs assigned to this scheduler run on every server. cell_name\<node_name>\server_name Runs the job on the specified server. For example: Cell01\Node01\server1
To define a job's scheduler, edit the configuration property associated with the task that you want to perform. The names of configuration properties that specify a job's scheduler end in .scheduler. Be sure to follow the required steps for checking out and checking in the configuration files.
For example, to run the job that completes inactive activities on a specific server after a certain number of days, update the value of the property...
jobs.AutoComplete.scheduler
..and set it to a specific server using the syntax...
cell_name\<node_name>\server_name
..such as...
ActivitiesConfigService.updateConfig("jobs.AutoComplete.scheduler", "Cell01\Node01\server1")
Follow the instructions for editing configuration files; check out the configuration file, and then follow the instructions in Applying property changes to check it back in and restart the servers.
After you assign the job to a scheduler, you can use an administrative command to run the job.
