Overview

The job status indicates the current status of the job. It provides insight into which jobs are running, which jobs require attention, which jobs have completed their runs, etc. 

Available Job Statuses

Below is a list of the available job statuses and their meanings.

• Idle: Indicates the job is not running. Select the job to view the next scheduled execution.
• Paused: Indicates the job is currently on pause. While paused, the job will not run at the next scheduled time.
• Running: Indicates the job is actively running and transferring content.
• Complete: Indicates the job is done and has met a defined stop policy. A job with a complete status will not run again.
• Cancelled: Indicates the job is in the process of being cancelled. The job will wrap up current processes during this status to ensure that the work is finished correctly.
• Failed: Indicates the job audit log has captured one or more error entries.
• Failed to Start: Indicates the job has failed to start correctly in the previous execution, which is typically the result of a misconfiguration or missing connection.
• Queued: Indicates the job has reached it scheduled time and has been queued. It will be run based on its priority in the queue.
• Awaiting user interaction: Indicates user interaction is required. (This is a transient status and cannot be used as a filter on the Job screen. See below.)
• Resume: Indicates the job is in the process of being resumed after having been paused. (This is a transient status and cannot be used as a filter on the Job screen. See below.)
• Success: Indicates the job was completed with no failures. (This is a transient status and cannot be used as a filter on the Job screen. See below.)

Filtering by Job Status You can filter the Jobs grid by job status to display only jobs that are in a specific status or grouping. This is done by choosing Status in the Select filter list and then selecting the applicable status from the Select a value list. Most of the statuses have a direct correlation to the job status (as described in the previous section). The two "not" options in this list serve as a grouping for multiple statuses. They allow you to omit specific statuses. Not Running: This lists all jobs that are not actively running–all jobs that do not have a status of Running. Not Complete: This lists jobs that have not met the job stop policy–all jobs that do not have a status of Complete.

Filtering by Failed Jobs When selecting Failed as a status, you have three additional filter options available. All: This displays all jobs with the Failed and Failed to start statuses. Failed: This displays only jobs where the job audit log captured one or more error entries. Failed to start: This displays only jobs that failed to start correctly in the previous execution, which is typically the result of a misconfiguration or missing connection.
