Administering
Overview of administering a WebSphere Commerce site
In WebSphere Commerce the person who performs administrative tasks is called a Site Administrator. The Site Administrator installs, configures, and maintains WebSphere Commerce and the associated software and hardware. The administrator responds to system warnings, alerts, and errors, and diagnoses and resolves system problems. Typically, this person controls access and authorization (creating and assigning members to the appropriate role), manages the Web site, monitors performance, and manages load balancing tasks. The Site Administrator might be responsible for establishing and maintaining several server configurations for different stages of development such as testing, staging, and production. The Site Administrator also handles critical system backups and resolves performance problems.
Administration Console
Site Administrators use the Administration Console to control a site or store by completing administrative operations and configuration tasks such as publishing stores, refreshing the registry, and scheduling jobs. You can access the Administration Console at a site-level, or for a particular store.
Scheduler
The Scheduler is a background server that schedules and launches jobs, both at the site and store levels. From the Configuration menu of the Administration Console, the scheduler allows Site Administrators to schedule and configure jobs.
Jobs
A job is a WebSphere Commerce command that is scheduled to run on behalf of a site or store at a specified time or interval. There are three types of jobs.
Scheduling a site-level job
Use the Administration Console to schedule a job on the site level.
Removing job status records from the SCHSTATUS table
Use the Administration Console to remove job status records from the SCHSTATUS table.

Removing job status records from the SCHSTATUS table

Use the Administration Console to remove job status records from the SCHSTATUS table.

About this task

Completing this task does not stop the job from running for your site. To stop a job from running, see Deleting a scheduled job.

Procedure

Open the Administration Console and select Site on the Administration Console Site/Store Selection page.
Click Configuration > Scheduler. A list of jobs that are scheduled to run is displayed.
When removing job status records, you have three options:
- To remove the job status record of a single job:
  1. Select the check box for the job status record you want to remove and click Remove Record. A message displays asking if you are sure you want to delete the selected job status record.
  2. Click OK to confirm the deletion. The job status record is removed from the SCHSTATUS table and cleared from the Scheduler Status Display page.
- To remove the job status records for the previous week or month:
  1. Schedule the CleanJob job to run.
  2. In the queryString you enter in the Job parameters field, specify the parameter endTime=LASTWEEK to remove job records for the last week or endTime=LASTMONTH to remove job records for the last month. All job status records for the specified time period are removed when the scheduler runs the job.
- To remove the job status records of all jobs:
  1. Click Remove All Records. A message displays asking if you are sure you want to delete all job status records.
  2. Click OK to confirm the deletion. The job status records for all jobs are removed from the SCHSTATUS table and cleared from the Scheduler Status Display page.
