Overview of PM Central Timer Jobs

Timer Job	Description
Bamboo Update Dashboard List	This timer job runs every 30 minutes. It updates changes made to the items in the Portfolio Dashboard List. The portfolio site’s Gantt View of Active Projects widget on the Schedules tab uses the Portfolio Dashboard List as its data source.
Bamboo Update Summary Project List	Running every 59 minutes, this timer job updates data from the project site’s Task, Issues, and Risks lists to the portfolio site’s Summary List. The charts on the portfolio site’s Project Central or Overview tab are connected to this list to display the chart data. Check this timer job if the charts do not show data.
Bamboo Update Task, Issues, Project Health List	This timer job, which runs every 59 minutes, updates the Project Name from the Project Health List to the Project Name in the project site’s Task, Issues, and Risks lists. It also updates the Start Date, End Date, and % Complete from the the project site’s Task List to the Project Health List. Check this timer job if the information does not update.
Bamboo Reporting Calculation Timer Job V4	This timer job runs once a day. It improves the performance of the resource allocation and capacity planning reports in the portfolio site’s Reports tab. When a report is configured to use the timer job, data for that report will generate at the timer job interval instead of each time the report is viewed. When the timer job runs, it updates the items within the Report Info Cost Project Site and the Report Info Project Site lists on each project site based on data calculated from the project site’s Tasks list. When the timer job is done, the reports within the project site pull the data from these two lists. NOTE: During the Verifying the PM Central Upgrade step, if you do not see the Bamboo Reporting Calculation Timer Job V4, deactivate and then reactivate the Bamboo Reporting Services feature for the web application. See Monitoring the Timer Jobs for more troubleshooting information.
Bamboo Reporting Top Site Calculation Timer Job	This timer job runs based on the report query saved in the Reporting Information list. When it runs, the timer job queries the Report Info Cost Project Site and Report Info Project Site lists based on the report query the user originally submitted in the Report Center. The timer job then attaches the query results to the original request within the portfolio site’s Reporting Information list. NOTE: If the Bamboo Reporting Calculation Timer Job V4 runs via Run Now, the Bamboo Reporting Top Site Calculation Timer Job will immediately follow, running once the Bamboo Reporting Calculation Timer Job V4 finishes.
Bamboo Gantt Chart Timer Job	This timer job runs every day to improve performance for resource assignments in the portfolio site’s Resource Assignments page of the Resource Center. Before the timer job runs, you will not see the Gantt Chart Information Backup list or the Gantt Chart Information list. Either list can be used as a data source for the Resource Assignments tab in the portfolio site’s Resource Center to show the resource assignment and the Gantt timeline. When the timer job runs for the first time, it creates the Gantt Chart Information list; extracts data from all project sites’ tasks lists; saves the items; and displays the data in the report. When the timer job runs again, it extracts and copies the data from the Bamboo Gantt Chart Information list to the Bamboo Gantt Chart Information Backup list; adds new items to the list; and then deletes the Bamboo Gantt Chart Information list. The next time the timer job runs, the data from the Bamboo Gantt Chart Information Backup list is copied into the Bamboo Chart Information list; new items are added to the Bamboo Chart Information list; and the Bamboo Gantt Chart Information Backup list is deleted. (While the timer job runs, you will see two lists because the report is still required to show old data.) This process is repeated every time the Bamboo Gantt Chart Timer Job runs, where only one list is used at any one time to display data in the Resource Assignments report.
