Configuring the Scheduler › Set the Interval Between Job Heartbeat Checks

Set the Interval Between Job Heartbeat Checks

You can set the time interval (in minutes) that the scheduler uses when checking for late or missing heartbeats from jobs that are running. The scheduler issues the MISSING_HEARTBEAT alarm for every job that has not issued the HEARTBEAT event within the job’s heartbeat interval.

Notes:

• The default value is 2.
• The Job Heartbeat Interval is an optional parameter. If there are no applications that send heartbeats, you do not need to set this parameter.
• On UNIX, the equivalent configuration parameter is Check_Heartbeat.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Start, Programs, CA, Workload Automation AE, Administrator.
