Background Processes
Resource-intensive and long-running background processes run on the application server.
They start automatically when the application server starts.
To access the Background Processes screen, select Admin > System > Background Apps.
You can manage these background apps:
Keywords |
Builds keyword data in the background so foreground updates don't have to wait while keywords are built. |
Emails generated by ICM. |
|
Named Entity Extraction |
Processes text to identify text fragments that might represent entities that can be extracted and created as ICM entities. The process passes back candidate entities reviewed by a user. The user accepts them, creates an entity, or discards them. |
Processes entity relationship path searches that don't have immediate priority. |
|
Processes active searches. |
|
Processes alerts. |
|
Processes audit information so foreground updates don't have to wait while audit details are built. |
|
Processes file import requests. |
|
Processes relational database requests from other applications that need to use the database. |
|
Processes backups and housekeeping of old log files. |
|
Processes identifying duplicate entities. |
|
Triggers |
Processes triggers. |
This process offloads processing some types of updates to improve processing speed and efficiency. This is important when single point collections are being updated. The Lazy Updater is usually only used on implementations where lots of users are entering case notes, tasks, and task results at a rate where these start conflicting with each other. You don't need to enable this option for smaller implementations. |
