Jobs

A job is the resulting task of one or more projects that comprise the associated process. When a process runs, it ultimately spawns one or more jobs, with each job appearing as a row on the Automator Standard Processes Jobs page.

The number of jobs a process creates is determined by the following:

• Whether the one project per job or the multiple projects per job setting is selected on the General tab of the Process Properties page

• The number of input files assigned to the project on the Monitoring tab.

• Whether all in a single job or each in its own job is selected in the project file.

The Jobs page displays the following information:

• The job’s unique ID number

• The name of its associated process

• The status of the job

• Registered

• Process resolving Web addresses in a manifest

• Process is running PreProcess script

• Process ready to run

• Process awaiting entry after a failed run attempt

• Process failed and not scheduled for retry

• Process canceled before jobs were launched

• Job ready to be dispatched

• Job deferred while a parallel job was running

• Job running

• Export failed and will be retried

• Job completed without errors

• Job failed

• Job canceled before completion

• Dispatcher host is not responding (a job has been executed on a host that is currently not responding)

• Orphan job (a job has been executed on a host that does not exist in the current configuration)

• The name of the server on which the job was processed

• The date and time when the job was registered

• The date and time when the job was last processed.

• The duration of job execution.

To view this page, on the Navigation Tree,  click Automator > Standard Processes and select Jobs.

You can delete, cancel and re-run jobs that have failed (due to process prerequisites that haven't been met, for example).

• To view the jobs log, click the View Job Log icon . In the Logs page, you can view the progress of an export (shown as a percentage) under Project Outputs.

• To re-run a job, click the Re-run icon  .

• To reload the jobs list, click the Reload Grid icon .

NOTE: You can filter the jobs by job ID, process name, status, location, date/time registered, and date/time last processed by using the corresponding fields in the column headings.
