Monitoring and Controlling Jobs › Request a Job

Request a Job

If you want an on-request job to run, you must request it before it is eligible to run.

Note: The job must be defined as an on-request job.

To request a job

1. Right-click the job in the Monitor perspective.

   A list of job commands appears.

2. Select Request.

   A confirmation dialog opens.

3. (Optional) Enter the command reason in the Reason field.

   Limit: 1024 characters (including the timestamp and the user name)

   Note: We recommend that the reason text not exceed 250 characters. The number of commands displayed in the command log is limited to the size of the command log buffer, which is 1024 characters. For example, if the reason text averages 10 characters per command, the command log displays up to 50 commands; if the reason text averages 250 characters per command, the command log displays up to 4 commands.

4. Click OK.

   Monitor adds the Requested condition to the job’s conditions. When the job's dependencies are met, the server runs the job.
