About this task
A scheduled
task runs every month to load balance the users
in the email address groups used by the email digest. This task ensures
that users are spread across the groups in a uniform way according
to their mail domain. The task is configured in the news-config.xml file
and looks as follows. Note that the default settings should not be
modified.<task serverName="unsupported"
startby=""
mbeanMethodName=""
targetName="ScheduledTaskService"
type="internal"
scope="cluster"
enabled="true"
interval="0 0 22 1 * ?"
description="Job to spread users in tranche"
name="PersonSpreadTranche" >
</task>
By default, the task runs on the first day of
every month at 10:00 p.m. If you do not want to wait for the next
scheduled task, you can run the task manually using the NewsEmailDigestService.loadBalanceEmailDigest()
MBean command.Procedure
To reallocate and load
balance users in the existing
email address groups used by the email digest, complete the following
steps.
- Start the wsadmin client from the following
directory of the system on which you installed the Deployment Manager:
app_server_root\profiles\dm_profile_root\bin
where
app_server_root is
the WebSphere® Application
Server installation directory and
dm_profile_root is
the Deployment Manager profile directory, typically dmgr01.
You
must start the client from this directory or subsequent commands that
you enter do not execute correctly.
- Start the Jython script interpreter for
the News repository.
- Use the following command
to access the News configuration file:
execfile("newsAdmin.py")
If
prompted to specify a service to connect to, type 1 to pick the first
node in the list. Most commands can run on any node. If the command
writes or reads information to or from a file using a local file path,
you must pick the node where the file is stored.
- Enter the following
command:
- NewsEmailDigestService.loadBalanceEmailDigest()
Reallocates and load balances the users in the email address
groups used by the email digest according to mail domain. This command
does not take any parameters.
The command returns the number
of users who have been reallocated to different email address groups
for load balancing purposes.

wsadmin> NewsEmailDigestService.loadBalanceEmailDigest()
