Active cron tasks run on all application servers in a sequence.
In a multi-server environment, you can disable an instance on one
or more servers or server clusters. The ReorderCronTask and the PMWoGenCronTask
are process-intensive. If the system server is also the corporate
print server, you can disable these two cron tasks to reduce the workload
of the server.
About this task
You can prohibit all or a selected set of instances from
running by modifying the
maximo.properties file.
Procedure
- In the maximo_install\applications\Maximo\properties directory,
open the maximo.properties file in a text editor.
- Navigate to the section Cron Task Manager property. Copy
the line //mxe.crontask.donotrun=crontaskname.instancename and
paste it in a new line under the text that you copied.
- In the copied line, remove the comment indicators.
- Replace the text crontaskname.instancename with
the name and instance of the cron task. For example,
to disable an instance of the reorder cron task, modify the copied
line to say mxe.crontask.donotrun=ReorderCronTask.ReorderCronTask01.
- Save your changes.
What to do next
After you change the
maximo.properties file,
you must rebuild and redeploy the enterprise application archive file.
