This operation will schedule the Application Engine program PRCSYSPURGE. This program purges both the Process Request and Report Manager tables and archives the data into the Report Archive table. Days before purge: # of days before a process should be physically deleted from the request table.
Identify all the different types of files and the manner in which they are distributed throughout the system. Binary File: System File: Deselect for TXT and HTML files. The file will be available to be viewed in the Process Monitor regardless of output type. The file will be shown on the report list page.
Display:
Event Notification is a feature that is associated with the output type Window. Any Process Scheduler can use a REN server. The REN server is an optional component of the PeopleSoft Application Server.
Processes can be assigned to Process Categories for the purpose of load balancing and prioritization. A priority (high/medium/low) can be assigned to each category. For example, all Financial processes should take priority over other processes.
2 Options of loading Cache: -Serial: LOADCACHE AE adds each applicable cache object to the cache, sequentially -Parallel: PLCACHE Job splits work of LOADCACHE AE into 2 separate App Engines and therefore reduces time to build cache. LOADCACHE Process Category: Steps to load shared file cache:
1. Check that SYSAUDIT is clean. Cache load might fail otherwise. 2. Go to Load Application Server Cache page (RUN_LOADCACHE)and specify languages to load 3. Choose Serial or Parallel LoadCache (Process Category needs to be enabled) 5. Restart Process Scheduler server for changes to take effect. 6. Use Process Monitor to track progress. The first time that you run the program, the process may take numerous hours to complete 7. Once complete, verify cache contents in PS_CFG_HOME\appserv\prcs\ProcessScheduler_domain\cache\stage\stage 8. Shut down App Server, and update ServerCacheMode=1 in PSAPPSRV.CFG 9. Copy the contents of the output directory into the PS_CFG_HOME\appserv\domain\cache\share 10. Start App Server.

# of times that the server can try to send a report to Report Manager before it quits. # of seconds that must pass before the server tries to transfer the report again.

SERVERS: Notification
Overload notification:
Schedule for sending notification email when the server is overloaded Notify when a process by the server goes to error. Notify when either CPU Utilization Threshold or Memory Utilization (specified in Server Definition) is exceeded.
SERVERS: Daemon
Daemon Process: Application Engine that runs continuously when the Process Scheduler is operational. It triggers other App Engines belonging to this Daemon Group. Sleep Time: # of minutes for which the daemon process before it checks for work. When it wakes, it checks for processes that need to be run on this process server. # of sleep/work sequence. When Recycle Count is met, daemon process will reboot itself.

Recurrence Name:
File Dependency: Checks for the existence of the file. If the file is found and no other process is using it, the process will run. Wait for File: Recovery Process: Location and name of the file that this process depends on. Optional process that can be run if this process runs to an error Adding a component to a process definition causes that process definition to appear on the Process Scheduler Request page when you select File, Run in that component, if you have security to run the process.
Component:
Process Groups: Process definition can be a member of multiple process groups, which are tied to security profiles.
PROCESSES: Destination
The Page Transfer feature enables a user to go directly from the Process Monitor to a designated page in the PeopleSoft application to view the results from a successfully completed process.
PROCESSES: Notification
Send messages to a group (using a role ID) or individuals (using a user ID) when a specific activity occurs with the process, such as an error, warning, or successful completion of the process
PROCESSES: Message
Enable Generic Prompting: Allow users to schedule this process from the Reporting Console Allow Access By User With: Full Process Security = Component + Process Group Process Group Security = Process Group only Run Time Parameters: Parameter fields with optional validation via Application Class method
- Associate multiple URLs with a process definition. - The links appear on the Process Detail page (View Log/Trace), which is accessible from the Process Monitor
