About Jobs
Jobs
allow you to schedule portal management operations. A job is a collection
of related operations. Each operation is one task, such as a crawl
for documents, an import of users, or one of the system maintenance
tasks.
You must run jobs to perform the following actions:
- Import or synchronize users and groups through an authentication
source
- Import or refresh documents through a content crawler
- Perform external operations
- Run and store content for some portlets
- Import user information through a profile source
- Move or copy content through a smart sort (the portal creates
and runs the job automatically)
