Viewing Scheduled Jobs

The Manage Jobs inventory page displays all jobs that have been scheduled to run or have run from each Junos Space application.

Changing the View

You can display jobs in two views: thumbnail and tabular. By default, Jobs appear on the page in thumbnail view.

In thumbnail view, jobs appear as icons listed in descending order by job ID. Each job has a title and job ID. To see more detailed job information, status, or results, double-click a job icon or move the zoom slider to the far right. The default zoom slider position is in the middle.

Note: A recurring database job appears as follows:

Viewing Job Types

Job types tell you what tasks or operations have been performed throughout Junos Space applications. Each Junos Space application supports certain job types. You can search for a particular job type. You can also sort by job type in tabular view. For more information about how to manipulate inventory page data, see Inventory Pages Overview.

To view job types:

In thumbnail view, see the job icon and the job title. You can also mouse over a job icon to see its title.
In tabular view, the job type appears as a column in the table. You can sort by

Viewing Job Status Indicators

Each job icon on the Manage Jobs inventory page in thumbnail view has a job status indicator. Table 1 defines each job status indicator.

Table 1: Job Icon Status Indicators

Job Status Indicator	Description
	The job completed successfully.
	The job failed.
	The job was canceled by a user.
	The job is scheduled.
	The job is in progress. You can only cancel jobs that are in progress from the Actions drawer.

Viewing Job Details, Status, and Results

Job details display all of the information that is stored about a job. You can also view job status and results.

To view job status, results, or details:

Double-click a job icon in thumbnail view or double-click a row in the table in tabular view.
Move the zoom slider to the far right in thumbnail view.

Table 2 defines job information. All job information appears in the Job Details dialog, but not all of it appears in the Manage Jobs table. !f a column is common to every job, for example, State and Percent, then it appears in both. But, if it’s specific to each type of job, for example for Backup Database (Backup Date, Machine, and File Path), then it only appears in job details. Although the Details column for this job in Manage Jobs might show a subset of that information.
