Scheduled processes
By default, Service Manager provides the following scheduled processes:
| Scheduler Name | Runs as Process Name or Names | Description |
|---|---|---|

If using the SM applications earlier than version 9.32, this process automatically logs off users who are inactive for a period of time. If using the SM applications version 9.32 or later, this process is obsolete. A new inactivity timer mechanism is used, which no longer requires this process. Note that this new mechanism requires your SM server, applications, and web client to upgrade to version 9.32 or later. As long as your applications is earlier than version 9.32, the old mechanism is used. |
