Process Server Options

A process queue is a named waiting list to which you can submit functions or processes. When the system administrator starts the process server on a workstation running Vantagepoint, a process queue is assigned to the process server. Processes "waiting" in the queue are then run, in the order scheduled, by the process server.

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 paused (the process queue is assigned to a process server), Vantagepoint does not reflect changes to the queue setup until the next poll of the process queue by its associated process server.

After you establish a process queue, you can only delete it if the queue is stopped and there are no process entries in the queue.

Support for Analysis Cubes Refresh

The Analysis Cubes refresh function is available if the Vantagepoint Intelligence module is enabled.

When you refresh Analysis Cubes, the refresh request is sent to the process server and the request is displayed on the Process Servers form (Settings > General > Process Servers). The RefreshQueue process is added to the list in the Process Queues grid, to represent the request to refresh the Analysis Cubes. Use the RefreshQueue process to check the progress of the Analysis Cubes refresh.
