If you are running services and P6 on the same server, you should keep the defaults. If you have scheduling work that needs to be done immediately, you should set the Interval low (e.g., 10s) and the Concurrent Threads high (e.g., 20). Remember that if the server is actively scheduling work, all users will experience delays in the application.
To set your scheduler settings:
Open the P6 Administrator application.
In the Configurations tab, expand your configuration.
Expand Services/Scheduler.
In the Interval field, enter the amount of time the Web Scheduler will wait before scheduling the next available job.
The default is 10s.
Enter anything from 1s-24d20h31m23s647.
In the Concurrent Threads field, enter the number of processes (active schedulers) used for scheduling on this server. A value of 0 indicates that scheduling will not perform on this server.
The default is 2.
Enter anything from 0-20.
In the Active Mode field, choose true if you want jobs processed continuously until all jobs are scheduled. Choose false if you want each job processed according to the Scheduling Interval.
