Table 10. General Job Properties
Field
|
Description
|
JobID
|
This display-only field becomes visible when choosing Jobs > View Job or Jobs > Modify Job. After a job has been added, this field contains an integer that uniquely identifies the job. The JobID is generated internally and cannot be changed. This field is also included in the Job List display in the right pane of the Job Manager window.
|
Name
|
Enter a short, descriptive name for the job. This field is also included in the Job List display in the right pane of the Job Manager window.
|
Description
|
Enter a brief description of the job that will describe its actions to end users. This field is also included in the Job List display in the right pane of the Job Manager window.
|
UserID
|
This field is required for all jobs. For jobs that will communicate with Siebel Analytics Server or Siebel Analytics Web, this needs to be a valid Siebel Analytics user ID. When this job runs, the Scheduler will execute it on behalf of the user ID specified in this field. This field is also included in the Job List display in the right pane of the Job Manager window.
|
Maximum Run Time MS
|
This specifies the maximum number of milliseconds this job should run before it is cancelled forcibly. If a job exceeds its runtime, it will fail with a "time out" reason code. To prevent the job from timing out, set this field to 0 (zero).
|
Last Run Time
|
This display-only field shows the last time this job began execution. This field is also included in the Job List display in the right pane of the Job Manager window.
|
Next Run Time
|
This display-only field is for recurrent jobs. It shows the next time this job will execute. The trigger is used to determine this value.
|
Running Instance Count
|
This display-only field shows the number of currently running instances of this job.
|
Delete Job When Done
|
When this option is selected, the job will be deleted after its last scheduled execution as defined by its trigger. When there is no next run time, the job is done. When a job is deleted, all instances are deleted as well. For most jobs, this option should not be selected, since deleting a job can be done manually through the Job Manager.
|
Disabled
|
When this option is selected, the job script will not execute when its trigger expires. However, the next run time will still be updated according to the trigger settings. This is useful when testing or debugging a new job because it allows a Siebel administrator to quickly disable a job without losing all information.
|
Execute When Missed
|
When this option is selected, and Siebel Analytics Scheduler is stopped (either all scheduling is paused or the Scheduler application is stopped), the job will run when Siebel Analytics Scheduler is brought back up if its next run time was missed. When not selected, the job will execute at its next run time defined by its trigger.
|
Delete Script When Job is Removed
|
If this option is selected, when a job is removed its associated job script is also removed. If many jobs reference the same job script, this option should not be set.
|
Disable NQS Functions
|
This option is used to disable the NQS Connect function in the job script. If a job script is not trusted by the Siebel administrator, this option can be selected to ensure that the user does not try to connect to Siebel Analytics Server through impersonation methods. In most cases, as security is checked by Siebel Analytics Web and the Administration Tool, or when jobs are added by the Siebel administrator, this option does not need to be set.
