Managing Scheduled Administration Tasks

The Scheduled Maintenance view of the System Administration monitor lists all the scheduled administrative tasks for a project source. From this view you can see information about all the scheduled tasks or delete one or more tasks. For more information about using the System Administration monitor, see Managing and Monitoring Projects.

To Manage Scheduled Administration Tasks

In Developer, log in to a project source. You must log in as a user with the Administer Subscriptions privilege.
Expand Administration, and then expand System Administration.
Select Scheduled Maintenance.
To view detailed information about a scheduled task, right-click the task and select Quick View.
To delete a scheduled task, right-click the task and select Expire.

Users are not notified when a task they have scheduled is deleted.

Scheduling Administrative Tasks in a Clustered System

When you set up several Intelligence Server machines in a cluster, you can distribute projects across those clustered machines (or nodes) in any configuration. Each node can host a different subset of projects. For more information about clustering Intelligence Servers, see Cluster Multiple MicroStrategy Servers.

To determine which server handles each scheduled administrative task, use the following guidelines:

Tasks that are based on time-based schedules are executed on the primary node for each project. You can find a project's primary node using the Cluster view of the System Administration monitor.
Tasks that are based on event-triggered schedules are executed on the node on which the event is triggered. The administrator must be sure to trigger the event on all nodes (that is, all machines) that are running the project for which the event-based schedule is assigned.

You can see which nodes are running which projects using the Cluster view of the System Administration monitor. For details on using the Cluster view of the System Administration monitor, see Manage Your Clustered System.
