Scheduling the Process Clocks task

Clocks that have been imported into the application are placed first into a pending table. This task retrieves pending clocks and adds them to employee timesheets. If the Day Split Rule is configured for an employee's calculation group, clocks can be split across more than one day in the timesheet. If you are not using the Day Split Rule, then all clocks are assigned to the date of the work summary.

See "Day Split Rule" in the Infor Workforce Management Time and Attendance Implementation and Administration Guide.

  1. Select Maintenance > System Administration > Job Scheduler.
  2. Add a schedule for the Readers - Process Clocks task.
    See "Adding Tasks to the Job Scheduler" in the Infor Workforce Management Time and Attendance Implementation and Administration Guide.
  3. In the Task Schedule list, click Parameters next to the Process Clocks task that you created.
  4. Specify this information:
    Process Auto-Recalc Period
    When this option is set to True, an incoming clock triggers the recalculation process for the employee for the days surrounding the incoming clock. The recalculation is based on the calculation group settings that are applicable on the day the clock is being processed.

    See "Defining automatic recalculation" in the Infor Workforce Management Time and Attendance Implementation and Administration Guide.

    When this option is set to False, only the day the clock is being processed is recalculated.

    Clock Types That Skip Recalc
    By default, clocks of all types automatically trigger the recalculation of the day on which they are applied.

    Use this option to avoid the auto-recalculation of the surrounding days that would otherwise be automatically recalculated. To avoid the recalculation, list the clock types in this option.

    Max Clocks To Process Per Invocation
    Specify the maximum number of clocks for each thread to process. The default value is 1000. The minimum value that you can specify is 1 and the maximum value is 5000.
    Number Of Clocks To Process Before Calculation
    This parameter defines the number of days to calculate for each clock batch in the Process Clocks task. The specified value must be between 1 and the value specified for the BATCH_PROCESS_SIZE registry setting. The default value is 100.
    Number of Threads
    This parameter sets the number of threads that are spawned and used by the Process Clocks task. The default value is 4. You can specify a range between 1 and 32 for this setting.
    Note: If you encounter errors running this task, then contact Infor Support to determine an appropriate value for your environment and hardware specifications.
