Job Queue

Introduction The Job Queue provides a mechanism to create, view, and manage active and completed jobs. The current status and progress of a job can be monitored via the Monitor console. Once a Job has completed, The Console Output provides the sanitized output produced by the package or discover process. It is possible to Cancel a Job if required, and once a job has been cancelled the status will be marked cancelled. When a Job completes successfully or fails a Debug Log will be available, which provides information that can be of use when troubleshooting issues. The output provided will depend on the package/discovery job that has been executed.

Delete Selected Jobs

A Job can only be deleted while its status is not one of the "Active" group, by the use of the delete button, after which the Job will be removed from the Job Queue list and will no longer be accessible.

Cancel Selected Jobs

Cancelling a Job will gracefully terminate all initial process(es) spawned by the job, on the target machine. Confirmed by noting Job process IDs provided in the Monitor, and listing the process on the target machine.

Clicking the Cancel button will be acknowledged, and the status set to "Cancelling" and once the processes are terminated the Jobs status will be set to Cancelled.
