Objective
After completing this lesson, you will be able to configure the Adaptive Job Server.
Adaptive Job Server Services
Server Handling on Job Requests
When an object is scheduled in a job on SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 2025, an Adaptive Job Server is always requested for running this job.
- Definition:
- The Adaptive Job Server provides important services that dynamically adjusts its resources based on the current system load.
- Administrators need to ensure that server status is Running and Enabled after performing common management task such as configuring a destination to send your report to or creating event dependencies to control when reports are processed.
Let’s go over an overview of configurable services, running a schedule and reference server properties.
The following table describes each of the services in the Adaptive Job server.
Adaptive Job Servers
| Service | Service Category | Service Description |
|---|
| Authentication Update Scheduling Service | Core Services | Gives synchronization of updates for third party security plug-ins. |
| Crystal Reports 2025 Scheduling Service | Crystal Reports Services | Processes Crystal Reports 2025 reports. |
| Destination Delivery Scheduling Service | Core Services | After a job is completed, it publishes the results to a given output location, such as the file system, FTP, e-mail, or a user inbox. |
Promotion Management Scheduling Service | Promotion Management Services | Processes scheduled Promotion Management jobs. |
| Platform Search Scheduling Service | Core Services | Runs scheduled search to index all content in the Central Management Server (CMS) repository. |
| Probe Scheduling Service | Core Services | Gives scheduled Probe jobs and publishes the results to a given output location. |
| Program Scheduling Service | Core Services | Runs programs that have been scheduled to run at a given time. |
Publication Scheduling Service | Core Services | Runs scheduled publishing jobs and publishes the results to a given output location. |
| Replication Service | Core Services | Runs scheduled federation jobs to replicate content between federated sites. |
Security Query Scheduling Service | Core Services | Runs scheduled Security Query jobs. |
| Visual Difference Scheduling Service | Promotion Management Services | Runs scheduled Visual Difference (Promotion Management) jobs and publishes the results to a given output location. |
| Web Intelligence Scheduling Service | Web Intelligence Service | Enables support for scheduled Web Intelligence jobs. |
Adaptive Job Server Properties
Properties in CMC
When an object is scheduled in a job on SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 2025, an Adaptive Job Server is always requested for running this job. Administrators can set some job server properties in CMC.
- Definition:
The Adaptive Job server can host several different services. Each service has the following properties:
The following are the Adaptive Job Server Properties.
- General property: Temporary Directory
- Service property: MaximumConcurrent Jobs
- Service property: Maximum Child Requests
General Properties
| Property | Description | Default Value |
|---|
| Temporary Directory | Specifies the directory where temporary files are created on when necessary. You can come across performance issues when this directory doesn't have adequate disk space. For better performance, make sure that this directory is located on a local disk. | %DefaultDataDir% |
Note
Restart the server for the changes to take effect.
Service Properties
| Property | Description | Default Value |
|---|
Maximum Concurrent Jobs | Specifies the number of concurrent independent processes (child processes) that the server allows. You can adjust the maximum number of jobs to meet your reporting environment. The default setting is acceptable for reporting scenarios. The setting for your reporting environment depends on your hardware, configuration database software, and reporting requirements. | The default value is 5. |
| Maximum Child Requests | Specifies the number of jobs the child will process before restarting. | The value is 100. |
Configure a Destination for the Adaptive Job Server
In this exercise, you will configure a destination for the Adaptive Job Server.
Summary
- The Adaptive Job Server dynamically adjusts its resources based on the current system load, requiring administrators to ensure the server status is Running and Enabled after management tasks.
- Services include Authentication Update Scheduling, Crystal Reports Scheduling, Destination Delivery Scheduling, and others, each with specific functions such as processing reports, delivering results, and running scheduled jobs.
- Properties such as Temporary Directory (default: %DefaultDataDir%) and Maximum Concurrent Jobs (default: 5) can be configured to optimize performance, with changes requiring a server restart.
- Each service has properties like Maximum Concurrent Jobs and Maximum Child Requests (default: 100), which can be adjusted based on the reporting environment and hardware.
- Administrators must ensure server status and configure destinations and event dependencies to control report processing and distribution effectively.
