Limit the Number of Executing Jobs Per User and Project

If your users tend to request jobs that do not place much burden on the system, you may want to limit only executing reports and data marts, and still allow users to answer autoprompts and issue element requests. You can limit the number of concurrent reports (both regular reports and dataset reports in a document) in a project per user account.

This limit is called Executing jobs per user. If the limit is reached for the project, new report requests are placed in the Intelligence Server queue until other jobs finish. They are then processed in the order in which they were placed in the queue, which is controlled by the priority map (see Prioritize Jobs).

To specify this limit setting, in the Project Configuration Editor for the project, select the Governing Rules: Default: Jobs category, and type the number of concurrent report jobs per user you want to allow in the Executing jobs per user field. A value of -1 indicates that the number of jobs that can be executed has no limit.
