Advanced Service Settings
Use these features to schedule service restarts and service availability.
Restart all services every 24 hours
The “Restart all services every 24 hours” checkbox ensures a robust distributed
processing system. Refreshing the services periodically prevents increased virtual
memory sizes and memory leaks in third-party software.
Set schedule for unmanaged services
If you enabled unmanaged services, you can open a calendar interface and schedule
the availability of these services to the distributed processing system.
To schedule service availability:
1 Click Set.
The work schedule interface appears.
By default, the services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
2 To constrain the availability of the services, click the pop-up menu next to a particular
day of the week, and choose one of the following:
 Off makes the service unavailable on that day of the week.
 On between allows you to enter the period of time the service will be available.
 Off between allows you to enter the period of time the service will not be available.
3 Enter any constraining time periods in the appropriate time fields.
4 Click OK to save the settings.
