Adding scheduled tasks to the application domain

You can add a Task Scheduler application to your application domain and schedule one or several tasks to be carried out by the application. For example:

•	A task that triggers maintenance of the runtime repository each night at 1:00 a.m.

•	A task that deletes expired StreamServe jobs from the runtime repository every 60 minutes.

To ensure that the tasks are executed even if the Task Scheduler application goes down, you can add several Task Scheduler applications and schedule the tasks for each one of these applications.

Tasks by default performed by StreamServer applications

By default, the following tasks related to the runtime repository are performed by the StreamServer applications in your application domain:

•	Update statuses of top jobs.

•	Delete expired jobs.

•	Delete expired Messages from Message storages.

•	Delete expired documents from Post-processing storages.

You can let one or several Task Scheduler applications perform these tasks instead. For information about when to use Task Scheduler applications for these tasks and how to disable the corresponding tasks for the StreamServer applications, see OpenText StreamServe Database Guidelines for the database vendor.

Repository maintenance

You can set up a task to trigger database maintenance on a specified repository in the application domain. For information about the maintenance package and how to use Task Scheduler applications to trigger database maintenance, see OpenText StreamServe Database Guidelines for the database vendor.
