3.5.3. Jobs

Click Jobs for information on current and past tasks, or jobs. A job is a set of one or more operations made in Oracle VM Manager. See Section B.1, “Working with the Jobs Framework” for more information on managing jobs.

The Jobs view provides comprehensive information on all completed and in-progress jobs in the virtualization environment. The Jobs view is used to get a global view on jobs, to evaluate information on jobs completed or aborted, or to cancel a job in progress.

Jobs can be displayed for all users, or just for the administrator.

The Jobs calendar enables you to display the jobs for a particular date. Select a date in the Jobs calendar and the jobs for that date are displayed in the Jobs management pane.
