Batch Monitor
As an administrator, you can use Batch Monitor to track the progress of all the batch
activity for all the clusters on your network. You can see how close to completion each
job is, along with other details, and you can stop, resume, or delete batches as well. If
you are a client user, you can use Batch Monitor to view and manage your own batches.
Use Batch Monitor to see information about batches
that have been sent to specified clusters:
