Use this screen to view the job server status, the list of available queues, and to make a queue active or inactive for the server.
|
|
Note: This screen is similar to the Start/Stop Job Server screen in the Transactions menu of the Administration domain, in which system administrators can start, stop, and/or disable a job server. The system administrator functionality, however, is not available in the Update Job Queue List Status screen, and is designed for users other than system administrators to manage the necessary queues relative to their reporting and processing needs. |
This screen consists of two blocks, Job Servers and Job Queues, that display simultaneously, as follows:
Use the fields in the Job Servers block to view the job server name, host name, and status.
Use the fields in the Job Queues table window block to view job queue status and to make one or more queues active for the job server.
Use this screen whenever you need to view job server status, or a list of available queues, and/or to make a queue active or inactive for the server.
A job server must be started and attached to one or more active queues in this screen before jobs can be processed in a job server.
Job queues must first be created in the Job Queues screen in the Transactions menu of the Administration domain.
What steps should I follow to submit a job to the job server?

Which job screens are normally the responsibility of a system administrator?
