Lucity Scheduler Service

The Lucity Scheduler Service runs once every minute to execute the following processes:

• Request Generator - Uses POP3 to check an email address for incoming messages. When the system finds a message, it turns that email into a Request within the Lucity system.
• Send Lucity Email Notifications - Looks for Notification records that have been generated and queued within the Lucity system. The process then turns these records into emails and sends them out through the SMTP server.
• Lucity Task Runner - Coordinates tasks that must be run on several web servers and handles resource-intensive tasks. The Lucity Task Runner takes processing load off of the web servers.
• Lucity Spatial Indexer - Reviews Work Order and Work Request addresses, coordinates, and assets and stores the related spatial information in a special table.
• Lucity GIS Scheduled Tasks - Runs GIS scheduled tasks, which push changes made in Lucity into the GIS, and from the GIS into Lucity.

Modifying Process Schedules

The schedules that the Scheduler Service uses to run different processes are stored in the scheduleappsettings.config file in the Lucity Services install.

Within the scheduleappsettings.config file, schedules are stored between the <appSettings> tags.

<appSettings>

    <add key="Lucity.GenerateRequests.exe" value="1"/>

    <add key="Lucity.SendMail.exe" value="1"/>

    <add key="Lucity.TaskRunner.exe" value="1"/>

    <add key="Lucity.SpatialUpdater.exe" value="5"/>

    <add key="Lucity.GISTaskRunner.exe" value="1"/>

</appSettings>

Types of schedules

All processes that the Scheduler Service runs can be set to run on an interval of time.

• Time Interval - Runs the processes every "x" minutes.
