Lucity Scheduler Service

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

• Request Generator - This process uses POP3 to check an email address for incoming emails. When it finds an email it turns that email into a request within the Lucity system.
• Send Lucity Email Notifications - This process looks for notification records that have been generated and queued within the Lucity system. It then turns them into emails and sends them out through the SMTP Server.
• Lucity Task Runner - This process is designed to coordinate running tasks that must be run on several web servers and handle running resource intensive tasks. This takes processing load off of the web servers.
• Lucity Spatial Indexer - This process is designed to review work order and work request addresses, coordinates, and assets and store the related spatial information in a special table.
• Lucity GIS Scheduled Tasks - This process is designed to run GIS scheduled tasks. These tasks push changes made in Lucity into the GIS and from the GIS into Lucity.

Modifying Process Schedules

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

Within the scheduleappsettings.config the 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 the Scheduler Service runs can be set to run on a time interval.

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