Automated Process Scheduler

The Automated Process Scheduler (APS) is responsible for maintaining a database of information about your Crystal Enterprise system; the other components can therefore access that data as required. The data stored by the APS includes information about users and groups, security levels, Crystal Enterprise content, and servers. This data allows the APS to perform its three main tasks:

Typically, you provide the APS with database connectivity and credentials when you install Crystal Enterprise, so the APS can create its own database using your organization's preferred database server. For details about setting up the APS database, see the Crystal Enterprise Installation Guide. See the Platforms.txt file included with your product distribution for a complete list of tested database software and version requirements.

Note:    

On Windows, the Setup program can install and configure its own Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE) database if necessary. APS clustering is automatically supported by the default MSDE database. MSDE is a client/server data engine that provides local data storage and is compatible with Microsoft SQL Server. If you already have the MSDE or SQL Server installed, the installation program uses it to create the APS database. You can migrate your default APS database to a supported database server later.

For details about configuring the APS, its database, and APS clusters, see Configuring the intelligence tier.
