LMC Overview
Contents
The LAW Management Console (LMC) is a utility that you use to manage distributed processes for electronic discovery and for certain kinds of batch jobs. A distributed process pools the processing power of multiple computers to get large processing jobs done faster.
To start a distributed process you use ED Loader for distributed electronic discovery; you use the Batch Processing utility for batch processing. After starting a distributed process of either type, you use the LMC to manage participating computers and to monitor progress.
|
When performing distributed processes, it is best practice to have all machines participating in the distributed processes running the same version of CloudNine™ LAW. Running distributed processes on machines with different versions of LAW may cause unexpected results. |
|
In this section of help topics, the term client represents a workstation that is running LMC. |
LMC Capabilities
After a distributed process is started, you use the LMC to monitor and manage computers, processing jobs, and licenses. Specifically, you can use the LMC to perform the following tasks: •Running and managing jobs •Start or end distributed processes. •Join computers to distributed processes. •Force unresponsive computers to leave jobs. •Monitoring •Monitor overall progress of a job. •Detect whether a computer joined to a job is working normally or appears unresponsive. •Monitor jobs in queue or currently running. •View license keys in use by client computers involved in processing.
•View connection state to SQL Server. • Logging •Maintain logs for errors, messages, and debugging information.

Requirements
When planning to use the LMC, consider the following requirements: •Each client that will participate must be running LAW and the LMC. LAW versions 5.3.14 and above include the LMC. •The LMC runs with cases based on versions of SQL Server. •Each client that will participate in a batch process must be able to connect to the same SQL Server instance that was used to create the case.
