How to change the SRM scheduling

Products

• Spectrum
• Network Observability

Issue/Introduction

There are some tasks scheduled to run at dawn. You may want to change the scheduling to launch the task at a different time so you don't need to wait.

Environment

All supported DX NetOps Spectrum releases

Resolution

Edit the $SPECROOT/tomcat/webapps/spectrum/WEB-INF/repmgr/config/container/scheduling.xml file.

Change the clockStartTime parameter to your desired start time.

Change the daysToDelay parameter to 0 to start today.

    <bean id="eventArchiverTask" parent="abstractArchiverTask">
        <property name="name" value = "eventArchiver" />
        <property name="jobDetail" ref="eventArchiverJob" />
        <property name="clockStartTime" value="12:00:00 AM" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="abstractArchiverTask"
        class="com.aprisma.spectrum.app.repmgr.dc.scheduling.CalendarScheduledTaskThread"
        abstract="true">
        <property name="daysToDelay" value="1" /> <!--Start tomorrow-->
        <property name="period" value="86400000" /> <!--Recurring period(ms)-->
        <property name="advancePreviousClockStart" value="true" />
    </bean>

Save the file.

Stop/start the Spectrum Tomcat service.​

Additional Information

By enabling the "SRM - Tools - Archiver" module in debug mode, you will see the prune operation in the Tomcat log file.

Edit the $SPECROOT/tomcat/webapps/spectrum/WEB-INF/web.xml file.

Change the following line from @off to @on:

SRMArchiverLog@[e-mail]@on;

Save the file.

Stop/Start the Tomcat service.

You should get the following entries in the Tomcat log file (stdout.log/catalina.out):
