Concurrent Jobs Run

Hi Everyone..

I have 40 sequence jobs that has to run concurrently .. when i try to run all the jobs,some of the jobs are aborting ..But when i run them individually all are finising successfully. I have searched the forum and found the information about the memory and cpu utilization . By using the top command i found that the cpu utilization is reaching 100 even when i ran 10 jobs concurrently. From the ds forum search i got the reason might be hardware is underpowered for the load being put on it or perhaps because some tunables are set too low.

My Dev server configuration is V490 2 x 2 USIV+ 1.5 proc 16 Gb RAM Sol9

So i decided not run all the jobs concurrently , either we increase the resources or we run a few of the jobs in parallel, and sequentially run another set of a few concurrent running jobs. The effect of the 2nd option will be to increase the elapsed time .

Anyone can suggest how to achieve this situation and what settings on the server side has to be tuned .

Thanks in Advance

You are on the right track. Reduce the number of concurrent running jobs to fit your resources.

Or, of course, increase the available resources (buy hardware). The experience with version 8 seems to be more and more that the development machine needs at least as much grunt as the production machine, particularly when there are multiple developers.

It's a simple supply and demand situation.

Use the resource estimation tool to get the figures you need to max out the machine without overloading it.
