Infrastructure

Application servers

This page includes all Evolve application servers available in this environment, listing the following for each server:

Name
IP address
Service account
Status

Message queues

On the Infrastructure page, you can also view Message Queues for different capabilities. The available queues are:


Queue	Capability
Wsreporting	To manage report execution
Wsautorunfile	AutoRun for Excel files
Wsinfra	Infrastructure requirements
WsWorkflow	Workflow background posting
WebServer	Evolve application server
Worker N	Workers set up in this infrastructure

For each of the above queues, you can make changes to the Journaling capabilities. Queue journals are created whenever an application queue is created; they store copies of all messages removed from the queue. Enabling this may impact the performance of your application.

Worker capabilities

For each of the workers, the following capabilities can be set:


Capability	Description	Notes	Parameters
Background Posting	SAP background posting	This includes background posting for Excel and Form (Winshuttle Update).	Enable Pre-fetch WFM Trace
Reports Execution	Create and update reports	This includes running reports.	Enable Pre-fetch
Incoming Email	Poll for incoming emails for the Email Approval feature	This may be enabled on one server only.	Enable
Email Notifications	Send all the emails from the server	This should be enabled on at least one server.	Enable Pre-fetch
Launching Workflows	Launch Custom and Standard Workflows for Excel	This setting cannot be disabled.	Pre-fetch
Server Recycle Settings	Update the time when the server will be refreshed	This manages server refresh and server recycle. Schedule at a time when you do not expect business jobs or system jobs to run. If business or system jobs are running, they will error out. Note: If the Evolve site and IIS App pool recycle times differ, jobs are not picked during the blackout period (the period when the recycle is in progress). Jobs are only picked when the app pool recycle time is completed on that VM. For this reason, the Evolve site and IIS App pool recycle times should be the same.	Enable Server Refresh Time Worker Downtime Duration Server Downtime Duration

Note:

The fully qualified name is not displayed in the queue. Instead, the queue name is created based on the name of the machine on which it was installed.

Worker queues (created by the worker server name) are established by the application. If you delete these queues, they will be automatically recreated after an IIS reset.

Server refresh

You can update the time at which the server will be refreshed and set other parameters with the Server Refresh settings.


Time Element	Detail	Sample Time
Server Refresh Time	Set the time when the server will be refreshed - HH:MM. Sync this setting with configurations in IIS post update.	00:40
