Changing the frequency of auction scheduler jobs

You can change the frequency with which the scheduler performs commands relating to auctions. The scheduler performs these jobs:

CommandActionFrequency in seconds

ProcessOpenCryBidsDetermines high bid and lowest winning bid.300 
ProcessDutchBidsUpdates the available quantity for Dutch auctions.310 
ProcessAutoBidsSubmits bids from autobids.320 
FinalizeAuctionDetermines winners for Open Cry and Sealed Bid auctions.600 
CompleteOrderCreates orders from winning bids.14400 
DoAuctionNotifySends unread messages to customers as e-mail.850 

To change the frequency for an auction command, use the following SQL statement:

update schconfig set sccinterval=frequency where sccpathinfo='command name'

where frequency is the frequency in seconds, and command name is the name of the auction command.

For example:

To change the frequency of the MonitorAuction command to 90 seconds, type:

update schconfig set sccinterval=90 where sccpathinfo='MonitorAuction'
