Queries in background processes

Most background processes issue queries to your RDBMS at regularly scheduled intervals.While these queries already have proper indexes in an out-of-box system, you may consider limiting how often these queries run or eliminating them entirely if your system does not use them. You should review the following background processes to determine how often your system needs to run them:

  • Agent (not started in an out-of-box system)
  • Marquee (not started in an out-of-box system)
  • Lister

You can control how often these background processes run from the Service Manager schedule record. You can set these processes to run infrequently or never run at all if they are not needed. See the Service Manager help for more information.
