Working with Scheduler Job Instances

An instance is a record that stores information regarding a specific execution of a job.

To work with job instances, click the Instances tab in the lower-left corner of the Job Manager window. When instances are present, you can use the tree in the left pane to locate instances and view information about them.

Managing Instances

To cancel an instance, select it and choose Instances > Cancel Instance(s). The cancel event is issued to Siebel Analytics Scheduler and the instance is marked as canceled when its registered cancel methods are called. For more information about registered cancel methods, see the command RegisterCancelCommand Method.
To view information for a particular instance, select it and choose Instance > View Instance. This opens the Instance window.
Purging a job instance involves removing it from the back-end database. You can purge a job instance in either of these ways:

To delete one or more instances, select them from the Instance List and press Delete.
Click the Purge Instance(s) icon on the toolbar or choose Instances > Purge Instances to open the Purge Instances window. You can purge instances by JobID, by UserID, or by End Time. If you choose the End Time method, all jobs with an End Time less than or equal to the given time are purged. Choose the purge method to use, and click OK when you are done to return to the Job Manager window.

To view information for a particular instance, either double-click it, or select it and choose Instances > View Instance. This opens the Instance window.
To refresh the information in the Instance List, choose Instances > Refresh Instance List. In some environments, if numerous instances have run and instances have not been purged in some time, this may take a few seconds.
