Monitoring Jobs

In this chapter

• Job Logs
• Audit Logs
There are several ways to monitor the progress or success of a job ...
• Job Status view — The Job Status view on the Favorites desk bar displays a list of all jobs and all
occurrences of a job. That is, for any job that runs repeatedly, an entry appears in this list each
time it is scheduled to run. The status field shows if the job is completed, running, or scheduled
and you can sort this view by status to group jobs together by their status.
• Alerts — You will be notified of problems during the execution of a job with alerts. New alerts
will cause an exclamation mark to blink in the Quick Access taskbar icon and a red ALERT to
appear in the status bar of the Administrator. You can double click the Quick Access icon or click
the ALERT in the Administrator to show the details about the alert. You can also view a list of
pending alerts at anytime with the Alerts view in the Favorites desk bar.
• Logs — You can review the detailed log from a job run in the Recent Logs view in the Favorites
desk bar. Double click the job of interest to display the full log for that run. You can then review
the log and print it if you wish.
