When you create a schedulable job object, you can define when you want a job to run. You can choose to run the job:
Immediately
At a specified time
Repeatedly on a specified schedule
A "job run" refers to whenever a job executes. Each job run is recorded as an entry in the product function tree and is displayed under the corresponding Schedule Job Definition (for example, Scan Definition). If you expand a job definition node (for example, the Scan node) to display its sub nodes, you will see one "sub" node for each job that has run.
The job nodes that appear in the function tree are color-coded to help you quickly determine the status of a job:
Object Type |
Function and Use |
Job Run Node is Green |
The job ran successfully on all the machines on which it was deployed. |
Job Run Node is Red |
The job failed. If an alert was defined for the job, you will be notified by the alert. You can also view the job log to view the error. To do this, click the job to view the run detail for the job that shows each computer on which the job ran. The status column in the detail window indicates if the job ran successfully. Click the magnifying glass icon for the computer that experienced an error to then view the log. |
Job Run Node is Blue |
The job is currently running on one or more machines. |
