Limit the Total Number of Jobs

You can limit the total number of concurrent jobs being processed by Intelligence Server. Concurrent jobs include report requests, element requests, and autoprompt requests that are executing or waiting to execute. Completed (open) jobs, cached jobs, or jobs that have returned an error are not counted. If the job limit is reached, a user sees an error message stating that the maximum number of jobs has been reached. The user needs to submit the job again.

To set this limit, in the Intelligence Server Configuration Editor, select the Governing Rules: Default: General category, and specify the value in the Maximum number of jobs field. You can also specify a maximum number of interactive jobs (jobs executed by a direct user request) and scheduled jobs (jobs executed by a scheduled request). A value of -1 indicates that there is no limit on the number of jobs that can be executed.
