System jobs

You define system jobs in the job scheduler. System jobs are performed by the system on a specified schedule to maintain system performance. You can define system job items and system job schedules in Tools > System Setup > Job Scheduling.

System job items extract data from source logs and business objects. Then they calculate results, create log entries, and update business objects.

System Job Item
Defines the job type and data capture period. You create system job items and then add them to the system job scheduler.
System Job Scheduler
Specifies when system job items run. The data is calculated and business objects and logs are updated. A system job schedule must be in active status to run.

After you create system job items, you create a system job schedule. You specify the relevant details of the schedule, and then you add the job items to it.

After you specify system job items and activate the system job schedule, you can view the list of scheduled jobs. The Logs section shows the time and status for each time this system job schedule ran. The log data is summarized in the Metrics section. The average duration is the calculated by dividing the total duration by the number of runs.
