Setting Up Server Process Execution

The setup of server process runtime is executed using:

The Task Scheduler tool of Foresight Analytics Platform.
Business process administration wizard.

NOTE. When working with business processes use the scheduled tasks container with the BPM_EXECUTOR_CONTAINER identifier for all tasks, except for regular report calculation tasks, calculation cube calculation tasks, and unit execution tasks. To avoid data loss during these tasks execution, create a scheduled tasks container.

To set up server execution:

Open the business process administration wizard. On the Scheduler page select the Server Execution and set up required parameters.
In the object navigator, run scheduled tasks container with the BPM_EXECUTOR_CONTAINER identifier:

Create a configuration file for task scheduler by selecting the Task Container > Save Settings for Scheduler main menu item and place the created file:

In the /opt/foresight/fp10.x-biserver/etc folder in Linux OS.
Next to the scheduler executable file on server in Windows OS.

Set up task scheduler start as a service. If the system uses a Windows-based server, the task scheduler can be started manually using the Scheduler.exe file from the folder with installed Foresight Analytics Platform.

To start several task schedulers on different computers or virtual machines for one container make sure that the Scheduler.xml configuration file contains user credentials used by task schedulers to connect to the database. The example of the configuration file is given in the Extending Configuration File Manually section.

If one task scheduler has settings for starting several containers, these containers should be started within the same database.

As a result, a new task scheduler instance is started that is configured to the Scheduler.xml configuration file. Check that the task scheduler dialog box displays a server, a repository, which processes will be executed on server, and a container with the BPM_EXECUTOR_CONTAINER identifier:

NOTE. Linux OS does not support visual interface to view tasks.

After executing the operations, the server process execution will be set up. To provide security and autonomous execution, it is recommended to set task scheduler as OS service.
