UC_JOB_CHECKINTERVAL - Periodic Time Check in AE

This Variable (VARA) object comprises the interval time for the periodic time control of the Automation Engine. It is supplied with client 0000 and its settings are valid for the whole system.

Key: *
Value 1:Time value
Default: 20 seconds
Allowed values: 10 - 60 seconds.
Restart: Server, see Starting and Ending Server Processes

This parameter defines how often the system checks the actual time.

Certain object functions, such as the time entry in the dependencies feature of a workflow, or the starting time of a Schedule object require a periodic checking of the actual time. This variable defines the interval for this check and so defines the accuracy of the system.

Defining a value different than the values allowed (for example, 5 or 65) results in an actual check interval of 60 seconds. The check interval affects both the MRT and the MORT monitoring in Service Level Objective objects. For more information, see Runtime Page and Service Level Objective - Fulfillment Criteria.
