Instance Details Window
The Job Instance Details window shows the details for a single job instance (a single execution of a job).
Detail Pages
Job
The Job page lists basic information about the instance.
Instance
The instance ID for this instance. Instances are numbered sequentially.
Status
The status of the instance.
Last Step
The last step executed in the instance.
Last Checkpoint
The last checkpoint reported for the job.
Execution Start
The date/time at which execution started (dates and times are shown using the time zone of the server).
Execution Finish
The date/time at which execution finished (dates and times are shown using the time zone of the server).
Elapsed Time
The total elapsed time for the job (the difference between the Start and Finish times).
Processor Time
The amount of CPU time used by the job. Note that processor times listed for jobs and steps only include program execution tasks and script tasks. Other tasks do not update the processor times.
Execution Reason
The reason the job was executed.
Cycle ID
The Cycle ID for this job, if one was assigned.
Chain ID
The Chain ID links together all instances that are part of a chain of jobs linked together by Responses and Job Triggers. For example, if an instance of Job A runs a Response when it finishes that starts an instance of Job B, both instances will have the same Chain ID. This value is intended for use when reporting or querying adTempus job history.
Log
The Log page lists messages logged by adTempus related to this job. Messages for the job and for individual steps are listed. To view the details of a message, double-click the appropriate row in the list.
Additional low-level messages intended for diagnostic/debugging purposes may be reported in the Job Detail Log and/or Script Debug Log, which can be found on the Captured Files page.
Conditions
The Conditions page lists information about the status of each Condition for the job or its steps. For example, if a job is in Waiting for Conditions status, this page will show you which condition(s) are still unmet.
Steps
The Steps page lists information for each step of the job. For more information on a step, double-click the appropriate row to display the Step Details.
Only steps that were executed (or that adTempus attempted to execute) are listed. If the step was never reached (e.g., because the job was aborted or failed before reaching the step, or because a job control action within the job caused the step to be skipped over), the step will not be listed here.
You can change the way this grid (listing) appears as follows:
- Click on a column heading to change the sort order.
- Click and drag a column heading to change the order of columns.
- Right-click any column heading to display a list of available columns, allowing you to select which columns appear in the grid.
Changes are saved in your local user profile and will be used again the next time you run the adTempus Console.
Captured Files
The Captured Files page lists any files captured by the job (using File Capture actions or the Capture Console option).
Captured console output has the name console output.txt.
Some additional special files may be present:
- The Job Detail Log contains details of job and step execution, which can be used for debugging purposes.
- Script Debug Logs contain trace messages written by user scripts.
To view or save a captured file, right-click the appropriate row for a menu of options.
- Select Open to open the file using the default application for the file type.
- Select Save As...to save the file to the location of your choice. This saves a copy of the file that you can do with as you wish; the captured file is still saved on the server as part of the job history.
Comments
The Commentspage allows authorized users to record comments about this job instance. For example, if the job failed, the system operator can record notes about what error resolution procedures were followed.
