Compiling and running a job

When you finish designing a job, compile and run it. Then use the log file to gather information that might help you adjust the job configuration or correct error conditions.

Procedure

  1. In the Designer client, open the job to compile.
  2. Click Compile.
  3. If the Compilation Status area displays errors, edit the job to resolve the errors, and then click Compile again.
  4. Click Run, and specify the job run options:
    1. Enter the job parameters, as required.
    2. To check the job configuration without reading or writing any data, click Validate.
    3. Click Run.
  5. View the status of the job:
    1. Open the Director client.
    2. In the Status column, verify that the job was validated and completed successfully. If the job or the validation failed, choose View > Log to view messages that describe runtime problems.
  6. If the job has runtime problems, fix the problems, recompile, validate, and run the job again.
