Automatic Model Loading on Server Startup

QPR ProcessAnalyzer models can be loaded automatically into the server memory already when the server starts. When models are large and loading takes a long time, it's useful to preload the models. The automatic loading can be switched on in the Model properties dialog (available in the models list in the header) in the Details tab by changing the Load Model on Startup checkbox.

For models that are set to load automatically on server startup, you also need to set the 'Drop Unused Model After setting to a large value (as shown by the previous example), to make sure that it remains in the memory even if it's not used (e.g. 100.00:00:00).

It's possible to control how many models are loaded simultaneously at maximum, to limit how much server capacity the model loading can use. The default value is two models at the same time. To change this setting, see the PA_Configuration table. This setting only affects the model loading on startup (not model loading initiated by users). If loading of a model fails, the loading just continues to the next model.

For the setting to work, IIS configuration for the QPR ProcessAnalyzer Server need to be in place.
