<strong>MicroStrategy</strong> Intelligence Server shutdown<br />
When <strong>MicroStrategy</strong> Intelligence Server shuts down, all projects are idled<br />
immediately. It stops accepting new client requests and cancels all currently<br />
executing jobs. These canceled jobs are saved and will be executed when<br />
<strong>MicroStrategy</strong> Intelligence Server starts up again.<br />
During the shutdown process the <strong>MicroStrategy</strong> Intelligence Server service is<br />
stopped and all projects are unloaded from the server. The current server state is<br />
captured and saved to disk so it can be restored when the server starts again.<br />
1RWHÃIn the event of a system or power failure, <strong>MicroStrategy</strong> Intelligence<br />
Server cannot capture its current state. The next time the server is started, it will<br />
use the state information from the last complete backup.<br />
Governing<br />
A governor is a setting that prevents a job from executing or prevents a user from<br />
making a connection when certain conditions exist. Governors are used to limit<br />
users’ access to system resources and to provide a way of controlling the<br />
<strong>MicroStrategy</strong> environment.<br />
For example, a user may inadvertently execute a complex report that takes an hour<br />
to run and returns five million rows. Such a report could cause a number of<br />
problems by tying up resources in the data warehouse, in <strong>MicroStrategy</strong><br />
Intelligence Server, and in the network. To avoid such problems, governors limit<br />
factors such as the amount of time that any one job may take to execute and the<br />
amount of rows that a job may return. <strong>MicroStrategy</strong> Intelligence Server checks<br />
all incoming jobs to make sure they comply with the governors and rejects any<br />
jobs that exceed the thresholds defined by these governors.<br />
Governors may apply at the following levels within the system:<br />
• Server-level governors apply to all jobs processed by <strong>MicroStrategy</strong><br />
Intelligence Server, regardless of project.<br />
• Project-level governors apply to all jobs submitted for a given project,<br />
regardless of the user who submitted the job.<br />
In addition to these governors, there is a governor set in the VLDB Properties<br />
Editor which limits the maximum number of rows that can be returned to the<br />
Analytical Engine from the database.<br />
