Job Monitor
This feature is new for adTempus version 4.The Job Monitor provides a view of recent, active, and upcoming jobs. The list can be filtered to display only the jobs and timeframe you are interested in.
When you select a job instance in this view, the log messages and step details for the instance are displayed at the bottom of the view.
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.
If you have jobs that run frequently, they can clutter up the Job Monitor and make it difficult to keep an eye on other jobs that run less frequently. Use a filter (see below) to exclude these jobs. You can either filter the job/group selection to exclude these jobs, or add a tag such as "frequent" to these jobs and then create a filter that excludes jobs tagged with "frequent."
The tool bar at the top of the view provides the following options to customize the appearance of the view:
Show Active
Clicking this button toggles the display of active (currently-executing) job instances.
Show Past
Clicking this button toggles the display of recently-completed job instances. The drop-down list to the right of the button allows you to select the time from which completed instances will be displayed. For example, selecting "12 Hours" will display all instances that have run in the last 12 hours.
Show Next
Clicking this button toggles the display of scheduled jobs The drop-down list to the right of the button allows you to select the time from which scheduled jobs will be displayed. For example, selecting "12 Hours" will display all jobs that are scheduled to run in the next 12 hours.
Note that this view only shows jobs configured with Schedule Triggers. Jobs that are triggered by other events (e.g., File Triggers) do not appear here.
Combined View
Clicking this button toggles the display between a combined view (where past, active, and upcoming jobs all appear in the same list) and a separated view, where past, active, and upcoming jobs appear in three separate lists.
Filter
The drop-down list to the right displays the available filters that you have previously defined.
Select "(none)" to turn off filtering and display all jobs.
Select "Edit..." to edit the current filter or create a new filter. This displays the Job Filter window where you can modify filter settings.
Select "Delete" to delete the current named filter.
The "(unnamed)" filter is a "working" or "scratch" filter. If you modify filter settings and do not provide a name to save your settings under, the "(unnamed)" filter is updated.
Filters that you create are saved in your Console settings file and are only available to you, and only on the computer where they are created.
