Configure asynchronous analysis

Hot Topic Analytics supports asynchronous analysis, which means that HTA will run in the background and allows you to perform other tasks in the Service Manager system. This feature helps to avoid an unresponsive system especially when you have huge volumes of data for analysis. You can decide to run HTA asynchronously or synchronously according to the actual needs.

Follow these steps to enable asynchronous analysis:

  1. Click System Administration > Ongoing Maintenance > Smart Analytics > Hot Topic Analytics.
  2. Select a module in the Current Configuration List, and then click the Advanced tab.
  3. Select the Analyze Asynchronously check box.
  4. Click Save & Exit.
  5. Add a SMIS (Integration Instance Manager) scheduler.

    1. Open SMIS page.

    2. Click Add.

    3. Select HTALDA in the Integration Template drop-down list.

    4. Fill in the mandatory fields. In particular, you must configure the Interval Time (s) field to control the running frequency of the back ground HTA job.

    5. Accept other default values, and then click Finish to create the scheduler.

Tip If you do not select the Analyze Asynchronously check box and use the synchronous analytics mode, you can test in your own environment to find a proper number which can have an acceptable response time.
