Tracking Updated Devices Using Job Manager

Use Job Manager to track device updates in real time. You can view the status of a running update and the status of completed updates in the Job Manager module.

When you send a command to a device or group of devices using NSM, the management system creates a job for that command and displays information about that job in the Job Information dialog box. The command you send is called a directive.

Job Manager includes the following utilities and information:

• View Controls—Use View controls to set the information level you want displayed in Job Manager:
  • Expand All displays all devices associated with a directive type.
  • Collapse All displays the directive type.
• Job Type (Directive) List—Displays the job type (directives) and associated timestamp completion status information. All current and completed jobs appear, including device updates. However, if you have not yet performed an update using NSM, the Job List does not display an Update Configuration directive.
• Notification Controls—Enables you to manually view job completion status.
• Job Information—Enables you to view job information, including errors, job completion status, job state, automatic job completion notification setting, and start time of job.
