Server Extension Scheduling Preferences

The Server Extension Scheduling Preferences define the PReS Connect Server Extension (Slave) connection to the main PReS Connect Server module (the Master Server).

If the connection to the Server module is lost at any point, then the Server Extension will keep trying to re-connect to the Server until successful. The settings that control these reconnection attempts are the retry interval and retry threshold values.

Important points to consider in PReS Connect Cluster startup or restart:
  • Rebooting a Server Cluster or a Server with an external database requires that the machine hosting the database be rebooted first.
  • Once the database is (re)started, Connect Server and Server Extensions all need to restart. The order is not important.
  • Location of the master server: Enter the location and port of PReS Connect Master Server module in hostname:port format.
    For example, 192.168.100.123:9340 or connect-master:9340.
  • Username for the master server: Enter the username expected by the PReS Connect Master Server.
  • Password for the master server: Enter the password expected by the PReS Connect Master Server for the selected username.
  • Initial startup connection retry interval (secs): In the event of a Server disconnection, this is the period of time to wait between attempts at reconnecting to the Sever.
  • Prolonged startup connection retry interval (secs): If the connection to the Sever has not been re-established in the time allowed for in the Prolonged startup connection retry threshold setting, then this entry then becomes the time to wait between attempts at reconnecting to the Sever.
  • Prolonged startup connection retry threshold (mins): Enter the length of time that the Initial retry interval is to apply.
    Once this period has expired, the Prolong retry interval then applies.
  • Note that Maximum records in a small job and Minimum records in a large job are not actually used in Server Extensions. All server scheduling is handled by the Master Server.
