Schedule the MPC Preprocessor Engine
The MPC Preprocessor engine can be scheduled using the Data Steward Maintain Events to run at any predefined interval. The preprocessor launches the MPC Calculation engines, so it is not necessary to schedule the individual calculation engines, the preprocessor takes care of that. See the following figure.

Monitor the Engine Status
The status of MPC events can be monitored through the DataSteward Event Queue. See the following figure. You see the MPC Preprocessor engine as well as each individual MPC Calculation engine.

MPC Engine Grouping in DataSteward Event Queue
In the DataSteward, MPC Calculation engines appear in a grouping under the MPC Preprocessor engine. See the following figure.

MPC Preprocessor in the Event QueueA plus sign
appears next to the MPC Preprocessor engine entry. See the following figure. Doubleclicking the + displays all the MPC Calculation engines that were spawned by that preprocessor.

Refresh the Field Cache in MPC Engines
To include new fields, PACE reports automatically refresh the field cache on the PACE engine at the start of each execution. The MPC does this same refresh at the beginning of the preprocessor and as each calculation engine is spawned. This avoids the problem wherein an MPC field requires a newly created performance Field Attribute that was not updated in the PACE engine field cache.
