Monitor a Job Session

You can view the details of a job session that is currently running or one that has finished. Use the Jobs Monitor tab icon tab to view the status of a job session including start time, end time, and job name.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

To monitor a running job session:

  1. Click the Jobs Monitor tab icon tab. The All Jobs folder displays defined jobs that are currently running or idle, and provides information about their most recent session, their last runtime, last run duration, and last run status. To view a specific job type, select the associated job type from the folder structure.
  2. View the status of a job in the status column. Currently running job sessions are represented by an active icon. Once a job session finishes, one of the following icons appears in the status column:
    • Complete icon Completed - Indicates the job session completed successfully. All tasks associated with the job session were completed.
    • Partial icon Partial - Indicates the job session completed, but one or more tasks failed or were skipped.
    • Failed icon Failed - Indicates the job session did not successfully complete due to mixed task statuses.
    • Aborted icon Aborted - Indicates the job session did not successfully complete due to a reset, reboot, or shutdown of the virtual appliance server.
    • Held Held - Indicates the job has been paused through the Halt feature in the Actions menu.
    • Pending icon Idle - Indicates the job session is idle.
    • Skipped icon Skipped - Indicates that a volume was not cataloged. See the Task tab for more information about skipped jobs.
    • Stopped icon Stopped - Indicates the job was stopped using the Stop button.

To filter the list of jobs based on type or status:

  1. Click the Jobs Monitor tab icon tab.
  2. Click the drop-down arrow in the header of the Status or Last Run Status columns.
  3. Select Filters, then choose a filter criteria.

To view information about specific job sessions:

  1. Click the Jobs Monitor tab icon tab and select a job by clicking in the row containing the job name.
