Monitor Software Jobs

Software Jobs are created by many different parties: domain administrators, enterprise administrators, end users, and by the DSM system itself. To simplify day-to-day job management, jobs can be viewed by any of these four categories.

  1. Click the All Software Jobs node to view all software jobs.
  2. By default successfully completed jobs are displayed. Select Hide Successful Jobs in the Filter portlet to filter them out.
  3. The Summary portlet displays a pie-chart for the distribution of job status. By default the distribution is by job.
  4. Click View by Target action in the Tasks portlet. The view changes to display distribution by target.
  5. Select a job container to view its contents. In the target-oriented view the computers and their current status are displayed.
  6. Select one of the computers to view its contents. The list of jobs for this computer is displayed.
  7. Select a job and click the Properties action in the Task portlet to view the details of the job for this computer.

Note: If there are many jobs in the list, you can use the Software Job search function to find job containers containing a specific software package and/or targeting a specific computer.
