The Settings page and background jobs
Settings is the gear at the top right, for Ledger Doctor admins only (see the roles).
Daily email and status reporting
- Daily email and Send to: see The daily email.
- Share health status with our GP support partner, and Name shown to the support partner: see Status sharing and your data.
Choose Save after changing them.
Backups
How old a GP database's last full backup can be before the Server area warns you: a warning (S03) after 26 hours, an error (S02) after 7 days and a critical error (S12) after 30 days, unless you change them. Each age has to be later than the one before. Every check also lists a database that has never had a full backup. The next scan uses the new ages.
Updates
Ledger Doctor downloads each new version itself and checks our signature. These settings decide when it installs one without anyone choosing Install update now.
- Install new versions automatically, Between: each new version installs by itself in that window, in this server's time, 24-hour, like 01:00-05:00. A window can cross midnight, like 22:00-02:00.
- Let my partner install updates: your implementation partner can tell this server to check for a new version and install it right away. They choose only when.
Either way it's only our signed version, checked on your server. Installing restarts Ledger Doctor for a few minutes; GP isn't touched. Each install is in the job log below and the security log. Choose Save. See Update Ledger Doctor.
Explain with AI
Approvers turn Explain with AI on or off for everyone here. The section says exactly what's sent and how many explanations are left this month. See Explain with AI.
Teams and Slack
See Post to Microsoft Teams or Slack.
Background jobs
Ledger Doctor runs five jobs by itself. Each run is listed with when it started, its status and its result, and each has a button to run it now.
| Job | When | Run it now |
|---|---|---|
| Scan | 5:45 AM (by SQL Agent, or by the service on SQL Server Express) | Scan now |
| Daily email and Teams or Slack | 6:30 AM | Send email now |
| Close task reminders: each assignee's tasks due today or the next business day, and overdue ones | 7:00 AM on weekdays | Send task reminders now |
| Status sharing | 6:45 AM, if it's on | Send status now |
| Check for new checks and new versions | Once a day | Check for updates |
Times are the server's. A run that fails, because the mail server or our server can't be reached, say, is tried again at most once an hour. Installs of new versions are listed here too, including automatic ones and ones your partner asked for.
What isn't on this page
The port, the approvers, the GP companies, and how email is sent are set in setup on the server. See Add companies or change approvers.
