Submit Job to Queue

Use this screen to submit jobs to a queue to execute on a job server.

You can execute the job immediately, schedule it to execute at a future time and date, or hold the job. If you hold the job for release, it is submitted to the queue but does not execute until you start it in the Update Job Status screen or the Manage Job Queues (system administrators only) screen. You can also specify whether the job should recur after a certain number of days.

This screen validates whether a job can be submitted to a specific queue, based upon whether the queue has any linked restrictions in the Scheduled Job Steps subtask of the Manage Job Queues screen. The Submit to Queue button in this screen performs this validation.

Note: You can click or to search for specific jobs.

Before submitting a job to a queue, you must establish records in the following screens:

  • Manage Jobs: You must establish jobs in this screen.
  • Manage Job Queues: Your system administrator must already have established job queues in this screen.
  • Manage Job Groups: This screen is optional. Use this screen if you need to group your jobs using a unique identifier.
