Scheduling Provisioning Jobs
Keep in mind the following:

Provisioning” on page 595 for more information.
• You cannot delete a job once it has started.
• You can deselect a job by clicking its check mark or by clicking the Clear Selection ( ) button
in the Provision Jobs pane.
To determine the status of a job, look in the State column:
• Created - The job has been created, but it will not be executed. The job cannot be viewed by
others, and it is deleted when the Web browser is closed. See ”Scheduling Provisioning Jobs” on
page 628 for information about changing the state of the job from “created” to “scheduled”.
• Scheduled - The job has been tasked to execute at a specified time and date. Jobs are assigned
a scheduled state after you select the job and click the Execute Job button ( ) button.
• Started - The job has started. You cannot delete a job once it has started.
• Failed - The job has failed.
• Ended - The job has finished.
