6. WebMO Administration
C. Job Manager
The Job Manager allows the administrator to monitor all queued and running jobs and to view,
download, and delete any completed job.
The administrator Job Manager is very similar to a user’s Job Manager. The primary differences
are:
• The administrator job manager displays the jobs of all users
• The administrator job manager does not display jobs in folders
• Although completed jobs can be viewed, new jobs cannot be created and run from the
admin account
To kill a running or queued job, click the corresponding Kill button. To update the Job
Manager display, click the Refresh button at the bottom of the page.
To download completed jobs, check the corresponding job checkboxes and click the Download
button. Similarly, to view a spreadsheet summary of completed jobs, check the corresponding job
checkboxes and click the Spreadsheet button (Pro).
To delete jobs, check the corresponding job checkboxes and click the Delete button. A
confirmation screen warns that the jobs will be permanently deleted. Note that unlike a user’s Job
Manager, jobs are not first moved into a Trash folder. Instead, the administrator Job Manager
immediately deletes jobs from the file system.
Because the administrator job manager typically displays many jobs, filters are available to view
jobs by computational engine, user, date, and status. Choose the desired filter conditions, and
click the Filter button to reduce the number of displayed jobs.
When viewing jobs as admin, it is useful to have checked View job in new window in the admin
user profile, available by editing the admin user in User Manager. This saves the time of
regenerating a lengthy job listing when returning to Job Manager after viewing a job. Simply
close the separate job results window, rather than click the Return to Job Manager button.
