Native execution job state table

As the job scheduler and grid endpoint process a grid native execution job, the job state updates in the job scheduler database.

The following table lists the possible states that a native execution job can have and the events that trigger state transitions. You can view the current state of a native execution job in the administrative console job management panels, or retrieve the state using the command line, enterprise bean, or Web service interfaces to the job scheduler.

Start and end states include submitted, non-existent, executing, cancel-pending, canceled, execution failed, and ended.
