Job

The Job is the central focus of adTempus. The job contains all of the information needed for adTempus to accomplish a specific goal for you. Each job contains one or more steps; each step executes a single task.

When you create or modify a job you are modifying a "template" for the job. Each time the job executes adTempus creates an instance of that job. Changes you make to a job do not have any effect on any instances that are already executing.

Information about each instance is retained in the job's history, which can be viewed from the Jobs View or the Execution History Query.

Security

The adTempus security framework determines who is able to manage a job within adTempus, but these settings do not affect what the job can do at run-time. Instead, for each job you must specify the Windows user account that the job will use. When adTempus runs the job it logs in the specified user and runs the job in that user's security context.

This means that any programs, scripts, or other tasks run by the job will have the same security limitations as if that user were running the program directly.
