Process Servers and Queues

Use this form to manage the process servers and queues for PM Compass and Cobra.

To access this form, see Display the Process Servers and Queues Form.

Process Servers

This section allows you to set the duration for which the application will retain process logs.

Note: A process server refers to a server that processes scheduled jobs. Typical operations includes scheduled reports, queued integration processes, and workflows.

Field	Description
Servers	This grid displays all available servers, and allows you to enter a new server.
	These grid options allow you to expand to full screen, filter the list, and download the data to CSV
	Click this button and select Delete to remove the selected server from the grid.
+ Add Server	Click this button to add a server. Once a server is added, its name displays in the grid.

Process Log Retention

This section allows you to set the duration for which the application will retain process logs.

Field	Description
No of days to retain logs without errors	Enter the number of days logs that do not contain errors are retained. You can enter up to 32,767. By default, it is set to 1.
No of days to retain logs with errors	Enter the number of days logs that contain errors are retained. You can enter up to 32,767. By default, it is set to 1.

Process Queues

This section allows you to add, modify, delete, pause, or continue a process queue.

Note: A process queue is a named waiting list to which you can submit PM Compass or Cobra functions or processes. It is assigned to a process server when you start the process server on a workstation that runs PM Compass or Cobra. The process server, on the other hand, handles reports, scheduled alerts, and workflows. It allows you to submit jobs to the process queue and then schedule them for processing. It delegates lengthy jobs to the PM Compass or Cobra server, which, in turn, runs the jobs in the background. By doing this, the process server keeps the workstation free for other tasks.

Field	Description
	These grid options allow you to expand to full screen, filter the list, and download the data to CSV.
NAME	This column displays the name of the queue.
SERVER	This column displays the server running the queue. You can select the server from the drop-down list, which only contains servers available in the Servers grid.
MAXIMUM CONCURRENT JOBS	This column displays the maximum number of jobs from the selected queue that can run concurrently on the process server. By default, it is set to 0, which indicates unlimited number of concurrent jobs. The number of jobs processing for a queue will never be more than the number in this field.
STATUS	This column displays the status of available queues. It displays either Stopped or Running.
	Click this button and select one of the following actions for each row: Start: Select this option to start a process queue. It is only enabled when the selected queue is not currently running. Once selected, the STATUS column will display Running for that queue. Stop: Select this option to stop a process queue. It is only enabled when the selected queue is running. Once selected, the STATUS column will display Stopped for that queue. Delete: Select this option to remove a process queue. It is only enabled when the selected queue is not running.
+ Add Queue	Click this button to add a process queue.

You can define multiple process queues, each of which may be monitored by individual process servers simultaneously. If you modify a process queue that is currently running or has been paused (meaning, the process queue is assigned to a process server), PM Compass does not reflect changes to the queue setup until the next poll of the process queue by its associated process server.
