Jobs
The backup or restore jobs created by you can be administered anytime. You
can delete, hold, reschedule, abort, or enable a job.
Administering Jobs
Jobs can be managed either from the server or from the workstation.
From the Server
On the SBCON Main Menu at the server, the Current Job List option gives you
a job management facility where you can delete a job, hold a job, or enable it
if it has been disabled after a job failure. You can even monitor the status of
the backup/restore jobs you have submitted.
Current Job List provides the following information about all jobs submitted.
The name of the server from which the job was submitted. If you
initiated the job from the client, locate the workstation name. See
“Viewing the Job Queue” on page 83.
The job name that you entered on the Backup Options form. The job
name can be renamed using the Job Details screen if you are rescheduling
it to run another time and you want to change the name. See “Viewing Job
Details” on page 84.
The Hold status. If you want to prevent a prescheduled job from
execution, you can put it on Hold. See “Postponing a Job” on page 85.
The job status, whether it finished the execution of the request, or if
it was submitted for execution at a later time. Other statuses are: active
currently, could not run, processing, failed, and success. The log of each
of these status reports can be viewed using the log and error reporting. For
more details see “Log and Error Files” on page 93.
From a Workstation
From Job Administration at the Quick Access window of a Windows
workstation or at the toolbar, you can access the current list of jobs. If you
select a job, you can see the properties, which include the following:
General properties contains fields for the Job Name, Job Type,
Submitted By, Entry Open, and Serviced By. These fields are the same as
the Job Details screen at the server.
Static properties contains fields for the Job Status, Job Submitted At,
Execution Time, and Job's Rescheduled Count.
