Summarize project data as a distributed job service

Primavera distributed job services (PDJS) enable large summarization jobs to be separated into smaller jobs by running the services concurrently on multiple servers. For example, you can summarize an EPS with four EPS nodes (projects) in two, three, or four separate summarizing jobs.

1. Choose Tools, Job Services, then click Add.
2. Select Summarize in the Service Type field.
3. Specify a number in the Job # field to indicate the sequence in which the service should be performed.
4. Type a brief description of the service in the Job Name field.
5. In the Status field, select Enabled to activate the summary service.
   
   You can suspend a service at any time by selecting Disabled in the Status field.
6. For Job 1, in the Run Job area on the Job Details tab, schedule when the service should be run.
7. For each subsequent job, in the Run Job area on the Job Details tab, select the option to run the job Immediately after previous job#.
8. For each job, in the Job Options tab, assign the EPS nodes you want to include in the job.
