# DMD_PROCESS_INTERVAL

Process Management Configuration

## Summary

This attribute defines the times during the day when the Deadline Manager checks the iProcess database for expired deadlines.

## Applies To

The attribute can be set for the `DLMGR` process.

## Permissible Values

The attribute value must be an integer in the range -1439 to +720, representing a processing interval, in minutes, calculated relative to midnight local time on the server where the `DLMGR` process is running.

If this value is:

| • | zero or less than zero, the processing interval is interpreted as an absolute interval. An absolute interval is used to process deadlines once per day at a set time. A value of zero means exactly midnight.

| • | greater than zero, the processing interval is interpreted as a repeating interval. A repeating interval is used to process deadlines at regular intervals and at set times throughout the day, on each day. If an interval crosses the midnight boundary, the calculation is reset to start from midnight again (so that deadlines are processed at the same times each day).

## Default Value

This attribute is not defined on a newly installed iProcess Engine node. In this case, the default value is:

Machine ID | Process | Instance | Value
0 | ALL | 0 | 1

The attribute only appears in the output of the `SHOW_ALL_ATTRIBUTES` command if you have explicitly assigned a value to it using the `SET_ATTRIBUTE` command. The default setting is not displayed.

## Notes

The following table shows some example settings and the intervals they represent.

Value | Type | Deadlines will be processed at
-720 | Absolute | Noon, every day.
60 | Repeating | 1am, 2am, 3am...and every hour thereafter.
0 | Absolute | Midnight, every day.
360 | Repeating | 6am, 12pm, 6pm, 12am every day
300 | Repeating | 5am, 10am, 3pm, 8pm every day. Note: Processing on the second day does NOT start at 1am (8pm + 5 hrs)
