3.7 Jobs
3.7.1 Run a Job
Retain now provides you an option to run a job immediately with button. You can run jobs assigned to a single worker or assigned to a worker group.
To run a job you need to:
-
Select a job.
-
Click the button.
The job is triggered and the button is disabled until the Job is completed.
NOTE:
-
If it is a single-worker job and the assigned worker is currently running other jobs, the job initiated on Run Job Now is queued and resumed after the current job is completed.
-
If the job initiated through Run Job Now, and is assigned to a worker group, if any of the workers in the Worker Group are running other jobs, the job is queued for those workers and the other workers available in the group will start processing the messages and run the job.
3.7.2 Starting a Job Manually - By Scheduling the Frequency
Jobs will start automatically at the date and time they are set to.
To start an archive job manually you need to
-
Select a Single Frequency Schedule for the job. Save Changes
-
Go the selected single frequency schedule and set the time at least 1 minute into the past.
-
Browse to the Worker Console <http://<Retain_Worker_Host>/RetainWorker
-
Click the “Refresh job cache now” button.
-
The job will begin momentarily.
-
Once the job has completed you will want to confirm the data is in the archive. See

in the OpenText Retain CE 23.2: User Guide.
3.7.3 Stopping a Job
A running job can be aborted.
Go to Jobs | Status tab. There will be an abort button visible. Press it and in a few moments the job should abort.
If after at least five minutes the job does not abort, you may want to consider killing the job.
Killing a Job
To kill a job, go to the Retain Worker Console and under the Status tab attempt to kill the job with the “Kill Job” button.
WARNING: Do NOT use this button if you have not already attempted to use the Abort Job button in Retain Server | Job | Status.
Alternatively, you can restart tomcat to stop a job.
