Number of dev users using a job server in development

We have a DS 4.1 sp3 patch 3 linux instance where our jobs run in development and we have about 60 developers using a single job server.

On the job server we have added the Excel Adapter and our job server fails from time to time causing us to have to bounce the app.

Is it normal to have as many users as we do?

Except for the Excell Adapter our job server is pretty much configured out of the box. Do we need to make any enhancements in the CMC to support this volume of users or add additional job services?

Thanks for your time.

Hi Michael,

As you mention that you have about 60 developers using a single job server.

It was not good practice to deploy inly 1 job server for multiple developer.

Cons:

  • If you execute the job from multiple designer then it will take maximum time for execution because if one Job will complete then only other will start.
  • If you schedule also then it will take more time for completion.
  • Less time for completion of Jobs for all Designer (60).

Best Option is Create a Job Server specific to Domain or Department like DEPT_JobServer1, DEPT_JobServer2..............

Create Server Group for each department and add department job server in each server group.

It will give you better performance of your server.

Thanks,

You mention a few things that aren't correct.

"It was not good practice to deploy inly 1 job server for multiple developer." - it IS normal practice to do this and most installations will have this, only with a high number of concurrent users, and/or adapter usage would multiple job servers be required.

"If you execute the job from multiple designer then it will take maximum time for execution because if one Job will complete then only other will start."  - job execution is not synchronous, multiple jobs can always be executed in parallel.

"If you schedule also then it will take more time for completion" - I'm not sure why you think this, it is also wrong.

"Create Server Group for each department and add department job server in each server group"  - server groups are only going to help if you have multiple servers to distribute the load, a little pointless on a single server.

We have 4 job servers with the Excel adapter on one job server (JS_dev), and then 3 other job servers (JS_dev_2, JS_dev_3, JS_dev_4)

We have approx 17 repo's connected to each job server ( 20 repo's connected to JS_dev).

Is this your experience?

Hello

60 concurrent users is quite a lot, consider configring additional job servers, maybe 1 specifically for adapter management.

Typically, 1 job server per server is sufficient though.
