2.7.3.1. Controller Details Screen

Shown below is the Controller Details screen.


Use this screen to maintain the controller defined for your batch scheduling system. As of this writing, only one controller may be defined.

In addition to setting up a controller entry in the database, you must have a physical machine setup having the controller program running on it, in order to have the scheduler system operate correctly.

It is possible to have all of the batch scheduler component programs (Controller, Agent, Monitor, Manager, and Alerts Monitor) running on the same computer.


Fields on this screen
Controller Name
This is the name of the controller. This name must be unique, and is used to reference the controller from other parts of the batch scheduler system. Name can be up to 64 characters, no spaces.

Description
Use this field to enter a description for this controller. Description can be up to 255 characters in length.

Controller Refresh Interval
This field specifies the interval in which the controller should check the database for work to do. This value is in seconds. You should keep this value low to allow the controller to check for work as often as possible. If you do not feel like the controller is being responsive enough, lower this value.

Max Batch Load
This field is used to indicate the maximum load that you want this controller to handle at any one time.
