Changes

ID	Salesforce	Description
TRANS-2044	-	Task Scheduler. Now uses instance's application pool. For new instance, Transtream Setup no longer creates a new application pool for Task Scheduler. For existing instance, Transtream Setup will make this change when the instance is updated. This requires an installer update. In Transtream Setup, click Help > Check For Updates. The new installer (3.5.0) is also available on the Downloads page.
TRANS-1806	-	Task Scheduler. Administration App settings to control service and polling. Task Scheduler runs as a service that polls the instance's SQL Server. To give better control, particularly for SaaS environments, the following settings have been added (Administration App > Data > All Settings): Task Schedule Poll Time (Sec). Default is 900 (15 minutes). Task Immediate Run Poll Time (Sec). Default is 900. Task Heardbeat Interval (Sec). Default is 60. Task Server Check Interval (Sec). Default is 900. Task Server Active. Default is False. The Task Server Active setting controls whether the service runs at startup. To minimize the impact of this service on SaaS environments, it defaults to False. When changing this setting, after making the change in the Administration App, you must recycle the instance's application pool. If you have multiple servers, this must be done on each. Possible Breaking Change If you have instances that use Task Scheduler (for example, for Automatic End of Day, Manual End of Day or Manual Consolidated Close), this is a breaking change. Set Task Server Active to True and recycle your application pools. In non SaaS environments, the various polling settings can be lowered to reduce latency, with the suggested minimum being 90 seconds.
