When there are a large number of tasks present in the ISMTaskSched table, the performance of both the SAS Single-Threaded and particularly the SAS Multi-Threaded Scheduler are severely impacted. The large number of tasks is commonly seen as a result of many long-term recurring tasks being held in the ISMTASKSCHED table.

Select the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.

The fix provides the option to use a new method of creating recurring communications, which results in a dramatic reduction in the number of tasks in the table. A new CONFIG entry is provided:

This should be set to YES in order to use the new method of generating recurring communications. The default setting is NO.

Note that the status of this CONFIG setting at the time of generating the tasks, (that is, updating the ISMTASKSCHED table) determines the methodology subsequently used for running the tasks by the SAS Multi-Threaded Scheduler or SAS Single-Threaded Scheduler.

SAS^® Campaign Management, Administrator Module, Single-Threaded Scheduler and Multi-Threaded Scheduler modules have all been modified to incorporate these new recurring communications.
