8.2 Viewing a Job’s Details

The Job Details page shows the effective settings for a job, which are a combination of the job’s individual properties and the default settings the job uses.

  1. In iManager, expand Archive Versioning, then click Archive Jobs.

  2. Select the archive server you want to manage, then wait for the page to refresh.

    For information, see Section 7.2, Configuring Archive Volume.

  3. Select the Jobs tab.

  4. View a report of all its current Archive and Version Services jobs.

    Each entry in the table represents a single job.

  5. Use one of the following methods to view the details of an Archive Job:

    • Select a Job check box, then click Actions > Details. Select only one job at a time.

    • Click the Status icon for the job.

    The Job Details box displays the following information about the selected job.

    Property

    Description

    Name

    The administrator-specified name of the job.

    Status

    Reports the current operational state of the job.

    Scheduled: The job is scheduled to save file versions; it is not currently running.

    Running: The job is actively saving file versions to the archive database.

    Stopped: The job’s archived data is available to users, but the job is disabled so that no new versions are being captured.

    Cleanup: The Clean Up Users job is in progress. For information, see Cleaning Up a Job’s Users List.

    Not Configured: One or more of the job’s settings are missing or invalid, or the default job settings the job uses are missing or invalid. While a job is in the Not Configured state, the job and its Delete policy do not run.

    Source Server

    The eDirectory Server object name of the source server where the data to be versioned is located. The source server is in the same tree as the Archive and Version Services server.

    Source Volume

    The name of the volume where the data to be versioned for this job is located.

    Snapshot Pool

    The name of the destination pool where snapshots of the source volume are created and temporarily maintained until point-in-time file versions can be saved to the archive database.

    Last Start Date

    The date and time that the job started the last time it was successfully run and completed. If the job is in the Running state, this time stamp is not updated until the job completes successfully.

    Next Start Date

    The next scheduled date and time that the job is scheduled to begin a versioning process. The format is mm/dd/yy hh:mm xm. For example: 04/25/05 11:45 PM.

    If the job is in a Stopped state, the Next Start Date might have a date and time that is previous to the current time. Whenever the job starts again, you can specify whether to run the job immediately (Run Now or Run Now with Copy All actions) or to schedule the job to run later (Run Later or Run Later with Copy All actions).

    Schedule

    Reports the interval or start times for the selected job.

    • Scheduled Interval: The elapsed time between the beginning of successive versioning processes for a job.

    • Scheduled Start Time: The time of day when the job’s version process begins and the days of the week the job runs.

  6. When you are done, click Close.
