Dialog elements

Server address	The network address of the machine which will be running the analyses. You can specify the address using one of the following three methods: IP address -for example, 190.11.222.333 Host name -for example, john-smith Fully qualified host name -for example, john-smith.mycompany.com
Displayed name	The name of the server to be displayed in the Job Manager dialog.
Batch queue max. running jobs	Specifies the maximum number of batch queue jobs that can run at once. Note: Each batch queue job may contain more than one analyses in sequence.
Start queue at	Specifies a time to start the batch queue running. Select this check box, and then select a date and time to start the batch queue.
Date	Specifies the date to start running the batch queue. Click the drop-down arrow, and then select the date to run the batch queue.
Time	Specifies the time to start running the batch queue. Select either the minutes or hours value, and then click the up and down arrows to change the batch queue start time.
Default job priority level	The processor priority that any Autodesk Simulation Moldflow analysis will take on the server. Note: It is not recommend that priority Highest be used on a single CPU machine as this can tie up the system's resources to such an extent that manual intervention in the running of the machine becomes impossible.
Distribution queue max. running jobs	Specifies the maximum number of distributed jobs that can run simultaneously on this job server.
Job distribution pool	Lists the available job servers, and indicates which of these job servers will be used by the Distribution Queue on the local machine. The analyses (experiments) automatically launched by a Design-Of-Experiments, Runner Balance or Process Optimization analysis run on job servers you have assigned to the job distribution queue. Jobs submitted to the pool are immediately broadcast to all servers in the pool. Each of the servers then broadcasts its own available CPU count. The job is submitted to the server with the most CPUs available. If there are no available CPUs across the whole pool, the job remains in the queue.
Temporary directory	Specify the temporary directory used by the job manager. When you launch an analysis, the Job Manager first copies the study file to the temporary directory, then runs the analysis in that directory, and finally, when the analysis is complete, copies the study file and result files back to the original project directory. Note: If working remotely, ensure that this directory exists or is correctly set.
Delete temporary files older than	Specify how many days to keep temporary files before deletion. Job Manager temporary files exist in the temporary directory specified in the box above. Enter the amount of days that you want the temporary files written by the Job Manager to be retained.
