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. Remember that if the server is actively applying the service, all users will experience delays in the application.
To set your publication settings:
Open the P6 Administrator application.
In the Configurations tab, expand your configuration.
Expand Services/Publication/Services.
Expand Project Arbiter. Use the Project Arbiter to automate submitting Publish Project services for eligible projects to the service queue.
In the Interval field, enter the amount of time the service will wait before running the next available job.
The default is 10s.
Enter anything from 1s-24d20h31m23s647.
In the Concurrent Threads field, enter the number of processes used for this service on this server. A value of 0 indicates that this service will not run on this server.
The default is 1.
Enter 0 or 1.
In the Active Mode field, choose true if you want jobs processed continuously until all jobs finish. Choose false if you want each job processed according to the Interval.
Expand Publish Project.
In the Interval field, enter the amount of time the service will wait before running the next available job.
The default is 10s.
Enter anything from 1s-24d20h31m23s647.
In the Concurrent Threads field, enter the number of processes used for this service on this server. A value of 0 indicates that this service will not be run 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 finish. Choose false if you want each job processed according to the Interval.
Expand Publish Enterprise Data.
Note: Publish Enterprise Data, Enterprise Summaries, Resource Management, and Security will recalculate data and store it in physical fields in the Extended Schema tables, and will perform other data denormalization tasks. For example, duration fields are calculated fields in the existing P6 schema tables, but will be recalculated and stored as physical fields in the extended schema tables when a project is published.
In the Interval field, enter the amount of time the service will wait before running the next available job.
The default is 10s.
