Schedule Scanner

Schedule Scanner Details

You can configure schedules in Sterling B2B Integrator to run business processes, services, and rules at automatic intervals. Following scheduling best practices can help you to improve communications and optimize system operations. The Schedule scanner ensures that scheduled services, business processes, or rules that can optimize performance in Sterling B2B Integrator are enabled. For more information about scheduling, see Scheduling.

Mailbox

The Mailbox test ensures that either the Mailbox Evaluate All Automatic Rules service or the Mailbox Evaluate All Automatic Rules Sub Min business process is enabled. If both mailbox evaluator rules are selected, contention issues such as duplicate records can occur. Ensure that only one mailbox evaluator is enabled. Also, ensure that at least one rule is enabled. For more information about enabling or disabling schedules, see Enabling a Schedule or Disabling a Schedule.

Services

The Services test ensures that the Purge, AssociateBPsToDocs, and the Index Business Process services are enabled. These three services work together to conserve system resources by archiving or removing eligible documents. Enabling these services simultaneously can prevent accumulation of unnecessary data in the database.

Ensure that the Purge, AssociateBPsToDocs, and the Index Business Process services are enabled with the Services test.

• The Index Business Process service flags completed or terminated business processes for archiving or purging. For more information about the Index Business Process service, see Index Business Process Service.

• The AssociateBPsToDocs schedule associates expired documents with a business process ID for archiving or purging. For more information about the schedule, Default Schedules for Supplied Services and Adapters.

• The Purge service purges flagged business processes or documents. These three services work together to conserve system resources by archiving or removing eligible documents. For more information about the Purge service, see Purge Service.

The Services test has a severity of 3, SEVERE.

The Schedule Process scanner includes tests that help you to determine what are the best practices to follow for your particular system. Tests are designed to ensure that your settings match the settings suggested for Sterling B2B Integrator, but those settings might not necessarily be the best for your particular system or improve performance, nor does a difference in suggested settings indicate a serious system error.
