Job status collection (deprecated)
Use this page to display information about submitted jobs, including the job ID, description, state, activation time, expiration time, and status summary. Jobs are submitted to administer targets that have been registered with the job manager.
The targets can be host computers, deployment managers, or unfederated application servers that have been registered with an administrative agent. To run jobs on a target, the target must be registered with the job manager.
- When the job submission wizard completes, this console page is displayed only with the job that you just submitted.
- Click to view the status of any of your submitted jobs.
To suspend a started job, resume a suspended job, or delete selected jobs, your ID must be authorized for the operator role.
Use one of the following buttons to suspend, resume, or delete a job.
Button | Description |

Job ID
Specifies the job number of the job that you submitted.
Description
Specifies the description that you entered when you submitted the job.
State
Specifies whether the state of the job is Active, Pending, Expired, or Suspended.
State | Description |
---|---|
Active | The job is activated and not expired. The job does not have to be running to be active. |
Pending | The job has been submitted, but has not been activated. |
Expired | The expiration time that you specified during job submission was reached before the job was started. A job does not start on a target after the expiration time is reached. If the expiration time is reached while the job is running on any of its targets, the job continues on those targets. |
Suspended | The job has been suspended. If the suspension occurs while the job is running on a target, the job continues on that target. If the suspended job has not started when the suspension occurs, the job will not start on any of its targets unless someone resumes the job. You can suspend a job from this console page by clicking Suspend. You can resume a job from this console page by clicking Resume. |
Activation time
Specifies the activation time that you entered when you submitted the job or the actual time when the job was submitted if you did not specify an activation time.
The activation time is the time the job is available to run on the targeted targets or groups of targets.
Expiration time
Specifies the time the job is to expire. If the job has not started by the expiration
time, the job will not start and the state will change to Expired
. If the
expiration time occurs while the job is running on a target, the job continues on that
target.
When you submit the job, you can set the expiration date and time, choose the default expiration time option, or specify the amount of time until the job expires.
Status summary
Graphically provides an overview of how the job is running at its targets. The graph is divided in up to four sections, indicating success, partial success, failure, or other, in that order, of the targets in the job.
Status | Description |
---|---|
Success | Indicates the number of targets on which the job completed successfully. |
Partial success | Indicates the number of targets on which the job partially completed. Partial success can occur, for example, when a target represents multiple servers, and only some of the servers on the target complete successfully. |
Failed | Indicates the number of targets on which the job failed to complete. |
Other | Indicates the number of targets on which the job has some other status than success, partial success, or failure. A status of other can include targets on which the job is currently running, or targets on which the job has not started. |
