There are several ways to start a job.
Before you begin
Before you run a job, the project must have an environment
and a selector defined.
Procedure
- From the Jobs panel: Select and
click the project name. When you click the project name,
the Start Project page displays.
- From the Projects panel: Click the Fast
Start icon,
. The following conditions
are checked. If the check passes, the project starts immediately.
- The project contains one or more steps.
- No variable in the environments for the project is set to Must
Change in the On Project variable property.
If the check fails, the Fast Start icon
is disabled:
.
Running a
project in this manner, utilizes the default values for selector,
class, tags, and environment variables.
If the Enable Quickstart
system setting is set to YES, the Projects page
checks all projects. This determines if they are eligible for
Quick Start. If a large number of projects are defined, the Projects
page can take a long time to display the projects list. A different
icon indicates that a project can be started:
. This was the default behavior until version
7.1.1.1.
- From the Steps panel: While viewing the steps of
a project, click Start Project. This
method displays the Start Project page for the project, where you
can change project parameters, environment variable values, and select
steps to exclude from the run:
- Select new values for project parameters.
- Edit the project tag variable values.
- Edit the project environment variable values. If you want your
changes saved as the new defaults for these variables, select the Save
Environment check box.
- Select the Job Steps tab to display
the list of project steps. You can select the steps you want to include
by clicking on the check box in the column header. If you want steps
excluded, clear the check box of the steps.
- If a step is a condition type (in Java engines, an IF condition
and an ELSE condition), both are displayed and you can select which
condition (IF or ELSE) is executed. See the image above.
- If you select only the IF condition, IF is executed without the
condition evaluation.
- If you select only the ELSE condition, ELSE is executed without
the condition evaluation.
- If you select both the IF and ELSE conditions, execute the commands
using the condition evaluation.
- If both the IF and ELSE conditions are deselected, execute the
condition for the selected step. (If both IF and ELSE conditions are
deselected, only one condition (IF or ELSE) can be selected.
After you complete your selections, click Execute to
start the project.
