Summary

As jobs are created, they are queued up on the Springbrook Cirrus server and then completed when the resources become available. The Jobs Viewer window displays all of the jobs that have been queued on the server and the status of each job.

Security

The Jobs Viewer window allows you to view reports generated in the application. Security settings for the Jobs Viewer are inherited from the security set up on the user logged in to the application.

Step by Step

1     Filter the jobs in the Jobs Viewer window.

• The Jobs Viewer window can be opened by clicking Jobs Viewer on the desktop or by navigating to System Wide Access> Utilities> Show Scheduled Jobs under the Module drop-down menu.
• Select the search criteria of the jobs you would like to display in the window and click the Search button   to update the jobs that display in the data grid below.
  • The User Name field allows you to filter the jobs by the user that scheduled it. The field will default to the user name you are logged in as.
    • You can set up DB field security on this field if you do not want users to have access to the reports generated by other users. If you set the access of this field to read only, users will only be able to view the reports that they have generated.
    • Cirrus also uses enhanced Menu Security for the Jobs Viewer. A user who does not have Menu Security access to the Jobs Viewer will still have access but the User Name field will be read-only. This results in the same access as described in the DB field security section above.
  • The Batch Type drop-down menu allows you to filter the jobs by the process that created the job.
  • The Job Type drop-down menu allows you to filter the jobs by job type. For instance, you could select Process Jobs in order to display a batch process you are running without displaying the reports that might be processing at the same time.
  • The Scheduled From and Scheduled To fields will default to the current date. If you would like to view jobs scheduled in the future you must change the date in the Scheduled To field.
    • If you would like to view a report that has been generated in the past, change the Scheduled From field to a previous date. For example, if you scheduled a report to print the previous night, change the value in the Scheduled From date to a previous date to open the report.
  • The toggles in the Search Criteria section are used to select which jobs will display in the window. Check or uncheck the toggles in the window to select which jobs will display. Once set, these toggles will retain their settings until the user changes them.
    • Check the Show jobs that are scheduled toggle to include jobs that have been scheduled but have not been processed. Once the server begins processing the job it is no longer scheduled but current being processed.
    • Check the Show jobs that are currently processing toggle to include jobs that are currently being processed. Jobs will only have this status when they are being processed.
    • Check the Show jobs that completed successfully toggle to include jobs that have been completed without errors.
    • Check the Show jobs that didn’t complete due to an error toggle to display jobs that generated an error as they were being processed. This applies to processes and reports. If a process or report results in an error the error will display in the Results column.
    • Check the Show jobs that were deleted toggle to display jobs that were canceled by a user.
  • Once you have specified your search criteria, click the Search button to update the displayed jobs.
    • Click the Reset button to clear all your selections in the search criteria and begin a new search.

2     View the jobs in the Jobs Viewer window.

• The Jobs Viewer data grid will display the job details associated with each job that meets the filter criteria. From this data grid, you can:
  • Download and view a completed report.
    • Highlight a report job in the Jobs Viewer window and click the PRINT link at the top of the page to download a PDF copy of the report. The job must have completed successfully before you can view the report.
  • Review a job that needs your attention.
    • When a job requires your attention before it can be completed, the job status will be set to Review. Double click the job in question to open a review window.
    • For example, if an Import Checks job is in Review status, double click the job to open the Import Errors window. This window will display the error details associated with the checks that prevented the import job from processing as expected.
    • You can also review detailed error messages for jobs that could not complete due to an error.
      • If a job displays an error message icon in the Details column, and that job generated an error. Click the error messages icon on the job line item to open the Exceptions screen. This will display the Description, Status, and Process Result of the selected job.
  • Export the data grid contents.
    • Click the Excel Export or CSV Export button to export the contents of the jobs viewer data grid to an Excel or comma-separated value export file.
  • Click REFRESH if the search criteria have been updated and you would like to refresh the jobs in the data grid.
