MetaXpress PowerCore Analysis-Job Management3. The MetaXpress PowerCore server distributes the work unitsamong the available MetaXpress PowerCore clients to beprocessed independently. MetaXpress PowerCore clients receivework units for processing based on their processor speed andCPU availability. The client with the fastest processor and thehighest number of available CPUs is the first client used; theclient with the second fastest processor and available CPUs isthe second client used, and so on.The MetaXpress PowerCore Software processes data using thealgorithm, Standard or Fast, selected in the MetaXpressSoftware. See Using a Processing Algorithm on page 53.4. When the analysis is complete, MetaXpress PowerCore clientssend the results back to the MetaXpress PowerCore server.5. The MetaXpress PowerCore server saves analysis results to theMDCStore database.Only the results defined in the MetaXpress ® Software SummaryLog and Data log are processed. See Processing FilteredMeasurements on page 53.6. During job processing, job information appears on the JobHistory page in the MetaXpress PowerCore server application.For more information, see Viewing Job Status and Informationon page 55.7. During work unit processing, error information, if any, appearson the Errors page, and it is possible for work units to have someerrors even if they are eventually processed successfully. Forexample, if retries are permitted, work units that encounterederrors are sent to different clients for re-processing, and thoseclients might process the work units successfully. For moreinformation on retry settings, see MetaXpress PowerCore ServerPreferences on page 89.8. If an analysis job fails, the Status column on the Job History pagein the MetaXpress PowerCore server application shows its statusas Failed. You can restart the job if necessary. For moreinformation, see Viewing Errors on page 71 and Restarting Jobson page 57.9. When job processing is complete, the MetaXpress PowerCoreserver retrieves the next analysis job in the queue forprocessing.10. If analysis jobs are re-started, the MetaXpress PowerCore serverputs them in the processing queue and prioritizes themaccording to their Job ID. The job with the lowest ID number inthe queue is processed first, regardless of when it was sent tothe queue. For example, if you simultaneously restart jobs 8 and5, job 5 would be processed first.52 0112-0183 C
