Managing Marketing Jobs


The Manage Marketing Jobs console allows you to view the status and details of each segmentation or list generation request running on the Analytics Web Server. To view the details of a request, click the Details link in the Action column for the job.

You can also view the current database cache for any Qualified List Items accessed by a segment or segment tree request. To view the details for the cache, click Details in the Action column for the cache entry. To purge the cache, click the Purge link in the Action column for the cache entry.

NOTE:  The Purge link next to each cache entry row purges all existing cache entries for the user who created the entry.

Using Job Action Links

If a job is in the middle of a long-running operation, such as running a set of Siebel Analytic Server queries, the job issues SQLCancels to cancel all queries. While the Analytics Server is processing the cancel, the job state shows Running (Cancelling). After all queries have been cancelled, the job state updates the value to Cancelled.
  • Cancel All. Cancels all running jobs in the system.
  • Detail. Each job record also includes a Detail link which includes real-time information about the progress of the job. This log contains basic job statistics as well as detailed information specific to the job.
    • For count, write saved result set, and write list file jobs, the log includes the query plan used to generate the logical SQL and SQL results and timings.
    • For delete saved result sets, the log includes the logical delete statements on the header and data tables.
    • For write list files, the log includes the constrained list items qualified by the list and the list SQL.
