How to update the Content Router Queue Processing (tlog processing) Schedule with an Media Server DeDuplication Pool (MSDP)

Problem

By Default MSDP executes the Content Router Queue Processing every 12hours (@ 00:20 and 12:20) in some circumstances this might not be apporproprite. This document explains how to change this.

Solution

To update the CRQP schedule and garbage collection on MSDP you should use the spadb command rather than editing the flatfile database files directly. For example the command below will set the schedule to run at 10:30 A.M. only:

/usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/spadb -d /DEDUP_STU/databases -c "update scheduler set sched_str=30 10 * * * where job=QueueProcess"

Same command exists on Windows in <INSTALL_PATH>/Veritas/pdde. You will need to restart the spad daemon to make the change active - on Unix/Linux only pkill -HUP spad can be run to avoid restart.

The sched_str setting will accept normal cron time entries.
