Job History

How to get there

To access the Job History page, click Job History under the Automate Schedule menu.

What it does

The Job History page displays instant information regarding all jobs that are currently running or completed. Here, you can view the progress of a job, history of when it ran, how long it ran, what agent it ran on, and whether it completed normally or failed. Automate Schedule creates a status record each time a job is submitted and updates this record in the Job History page when the job enters a queue, when it starts running, and when it completes. This page shows the name of the job and the agent from where it ran at the time the history record was created, which is true even if you subsequently change either name. The Job History page also includes actions that enables you to immediately run a job, restart a failed job, or end a running job.

Options

(Show Actions)

Action	Description
Details	Allows you to view detailed information about the selected job via the Job History Details page.
Focus History on Job	Focuses history on a single job. All job history records for the selected job will be displayed on the page.
Job Log	Allows you to view job log of the selected job via the Job Log page.
Job Commands	Shows all available commands of the job.
Run Job, Ignore Conditions	Manually runs the selected job. Any attached conditions will be ignored. A confirmation dialog will appear to verify execution.
Restart Job	Restarts a job that previously ended with a Failed, Canceled, or Error status. One benefit of restarting a job is documentation of handling failed jobs through job history attributes. The restarted job also inherits the scheduling attributes of the original job, such as the scheduled date and time. NOTE: Only jobs that ended with a Failed, Canceled, or Error status can be restarted.
End Job	Ends a running or queued job and sets a status code (Completed, Canceled, or Failed). You can only end jobs that are currently submitted (still on an agent job queue) or running. The applied status code determines how reactivity for other jobs or job suites that react to the ending job are processed. For example, if you have other jobs that react to the normal completion or failure of the job, you can end the job with a Canceled status. If you have other jobs that react to normal completion, which you still want to react, you can end the job with a Completed status. To end a job, click (Show Actions) and select End Job. Select the status code you want to end the job with: Canceled, Completed or Failed. Click End Job to end the job or Cancel to cancel.
Close	Closes the row actions window.
