Jobs

A job is the resulting task of one or more projects that comprise the associated process. When a process runs, it ultimately spawns one or more jobs, with each job appearing as a row on the Automator Standard Processes Jobs page.

The number of jobs a process creates is determined by the following:

• Whether the one project per job or the multiple projects per job setting is selected on the General tab of the Process Properties page

• The number of input files assigned to the project on the Monitoring tab.

• Whether all in a single job or each in its own job is selected in the project file.

The Jobs page displays the following information:

• The job’s unique ID number

• The name of its associated process

• The status of the job

  • Registered

  • Process resolving Web addresses in a manifest

  • Process is running PreProcess script

  • Process ready to run

  • Process awaiting entry after a failed run attempt

  • Process failed and not scheduled for retry

  • Process canceled before jobs were launched

  • Job ready to be dispatched

  • Job deferred while a parallel job was running

  • Job running

  • Export failed and will be retried

  • Job completed without errors

  • Job failed

  • Job canceled before completion

  • Dispatcher host is not responding (a job has been executed on a host that is currently not responding)

  • Orphan job (a job has been executed on a host that does not exist in the current configuration)

• The name of the server on which the job was processed

• The date and time when the job was registered

• The date and time when the job was last processed.

• The duration of job execution.
