Manage Job Queues

Use this screen to create job queues and manage their entries.

Like the Update Job Status screen, this screen provides information on the status of a particular queue, the job server processing the jobs, and the jobs that the queue contains. If you have function rights to this screen, you can update any processes waiting for execution on the process server. (This is one of the significant differences between the Update Job Status screen and this screen.) In addition, you can create new queues or change the status of existing queues.

Note: This screen is normally restricted to a system administrator for the purpose of creating and managing job queues in Costpoint.

Before a job appears on this screen, you must submit it to the queue using the Submit Job to Queue screen. The jobs that have been submitted to the queue appears on this screen flagged with any of the following statuses:

  • Executing: This status indicates that the scheduled job is currently processing. You cannot edit this job while it is still processing. Jobs with this status will be set to Aborted when a server is brought up with the same ID.
  • Aborted: This status indicates that the scheduled job did not finish successfully.
  • Hold: This status indicates that the scheduled job is currently on hold for processing.
  • Pending: This status indicates that the scheduled job is not yet started.

You cannot enter new jobs in this screen. You can only update or delete processes sent to the queue if Aborted, Hold, or Pending appears in the Status field. After you update or delete the jobs in this screen, save the screen to retain any changes. The Server and Status fields are non-editable. You can make changes to the attached server or to the server's status in the Update Job Queue Status screen.

You must first create a job in the Manage Jobs screen before you can use this screen. After you create the job, you can send it to the queue using the Submit Job to Queue screen. You can click or to select a queue to populate the screen.

If you send a job to the queue and its status is Pending, the Start Time and Start Date determine when the job is executed on the job server.
