All Submitted Jobs

All Submitted Jobs

Suppose that a user is performing a print job. Some print jobs can take quite some time but of course the user, meanwhile, wants to be able to work on other tasks. Therefore a print job typically runs in the background so that the user can continue working. The handling of the background job is taken care of by a quartz scheduler.

Such a background print job will show up in the list of submitted jobs.

Should a background job, like the print job, get stuck for some reason, it is possible to remove that job from the list, a functionality that makes the list of submitted jobs an important administrative tool.

Selecting the Submitted jobs task will take you to the Submitted jobs main portlet as below.

A right click on a specific job entry will present three different options:

Remove: Removes the job from the list of submitted jobs

View: View details of the job

Calculate memory utilization: Calculates the amount of memory that the job uses and populates the field Memory utilization with the calculated value

Submitted jobs top segment

The top segment (see highlighted segment in Figure 25) of the submitted jobs main portlet gives you a summarized view of the total number of jobs ran for a specific scheduler (scheduler name).

Non submitted jobs

Note that not all quartz scheduler handled background jobs, such as for example process related scheduled jobs, populates the list of submitted jobs. This is because the system designer has not wanted all jobs, given the character of the job, to be regarded as a submitted job. Figure 25, where 670 jobs have executed but the list of submitted jobs is empty without having been cleared, provides an example of this
