Job Target State

"State" shows current state of the job target, or the job container target, and can be one of:

"Waiting"

"Waiting" means that the job target is waiting to be executed. The job container will ordinarily transfer to Building and then to Active state.

"Ordered"

"Ordered" means that the associated job target is in Active state.

"Ordered" can be split into three sub-states, depending on what you want to achieve and the configuration of the agent:

Job Execution Ordered

if DTS is not used to the agent

SW Delivery Ordered

if DTS is being used for transport to a NOS-less agent and a delivery has been asked for

SW Removal Ordered

when a removal from a staging library has been ordered

"Staged"

For job targets to be executed on SD agents downstream of a scalability server, the software (if not already in the staging library) and the job order has been transferred to the scalability server.

"Executing"

The job target is currently executing.

"Executing" can also be split into three substates, depending on exactly what job target is executing and the configuration of the agent:

Job Executing

if DTS is not used to the agent.

SW Delivery Executing

if DTS is being used for transport to a NOS-less agent and a delivery is executed

SW Removal Executing

when a removal from a staging library is executed

For NOS-less agents, you can also see the percentage sent.

"Halted"

Coupled to the use of DTS: Either a delivery job to a staging library has been halted, or the delivery 'sub-job', initiated by checking the Store Package in the staging library box when defining an install (or another task type) of job, has been halted.

This state can also occur if you select Halt for a job to a NOS-less agent using DTS.

After selecting Halt, there is a transitory state, Halt in progress, when a job target is transferring from active state to halted state.

"OK"

The job target has been executed and the result was OK.

"Error"

Something went wrong during the job target execution.

"Removing"

The job target or the job container target is being removed.
