Configuration Jobs Node

The Configuration Jobs node and corresponding pane let you view all of the configuration jobs that are in a scheduled or error state. It also displays internal configuration jobs that the manager has created to apply policies to computers.

When you select a configuration job in the DSM Explorer, the Configuration Jobs pane displays the policies that will be applied when the job is activated. You can right-click on a configuration job to perform any of the following actions:

Reschedule

Changes the time when policies will be applied.

View Errors

When a configuration job is in an error state, displays the associated errors in the Configuration Job Errors dialog.

Delete

Deletes the configuration job. This is possible only if the activation time is not imminent.

The Computer Configuration Status pie chart in the Summary portlet gives you an overall view of the configuration status of all computers within a domain. (This feature is not available for an enterprise manager.) It provides tallies for each of the following states, as well as the total number of computers having a configuration state assigned:

New

The computer has not yet registered with the common configuration (CCNF) manager.

Active

All assigned configuration policies were successfully applied.

Waiting

A configuration job was sent to the target but there has been no reply yet.

Scheduled

A configuration job is scheduled for this computer. The activation time may not have been reached or the manager may be busy processing other jobs.

Error

A configuration job for this computer has failed. If the job was created manually, the error condition should be checked and resolved.

Not reachable

The server tried to send a message to the target but failed. The message will be sent again after some time or when the target contacts the server.

Outdated

This computer is marked for an update of its configuration settings.

Status information is refreshed when the GUI is refreshed.
