Overview
The Jobs tab is used to add, view, or cancel scheduled jobs that perform various Manage Services tasks. All defined Manage Services jobs are listed on the right side, and the currently selected job is displayed on the left side.
A Manage Services job is a sequence of tasks that Manage Services can perform on its master or slave servers. Tasks may include the following:
- Stop a server or service
- Start a server or service
- Cycle a server or service
- Assign a configuration
- Push a configuration to other server in the Manage Services environment
The fields in the Current® Job pane are as follows:
- Field
- Description
-
Description - This field is used to enter a description for the job. A meaningful description helps to later identify a job in the job list.
-
Dependency - In some cases, you may wish to execute a job after another job has completed successfully. The dependency field allows you to select a job that must complete before the current job is started.
-
Run At - This field allows you to specify a date and time at which the
job will be run. If the date or time is in the past, then the job
will be run immediately (subject to dependency limitations). By default,
this field contains today's date with a time of
00:00:00, which will cause it to run as soon as it's submitted. -
Run Immediately - Click this checkbox to run the job as soon as you submit it. When this option is selected, you cannot specify a time at which to run it.
