Configure data-aware scheduling

Data-aware scheduling is configured in the application profile. The following steps describe configuration using the Platform Management Console (PMC). To configure data-aware scheduling manually, set the appropriate attributes in the application profile as described in the data-aware scheduling feature reference.

  1. In the PMC, click Symphony Workload > Configure Applications.

    The Applications page displays.

  2. Select the application you want to modify.

    The Application Profile page displays.

  3. Expand the Resource and Data Aware Scheduling section. In the Scheduling Affinity dropdown list, select Data Aware.
    Note:

    When Data Aware is configured, data-aware scheduling at the task level is enabled. This configuration also enables resource-aware scheduling at the session level. For more information about resource-aware scheduling, refer to the Cluster and Application Management Guide.

  4. If you are using a plug-in to collect data attributes, select true to enable the plug-in cache. In the textbox, enter the plug-in start command including the path.
  5. In the Default Resource Attribute Value textbox, enter a value that will be substituted by the middleware if the preferred data attribute value is not available.
  6. Click Save to apply your changes.

    Symphony reregisters the application for the changes to take effect.
