Examining Multiple Build Jobs

If you are running Distributed Make (dmake in any mode), you can use the Jobs Graph window to monitor the progress of the dmake run and to view the state of each build job.

The graph identifies each build server. Build jobs are graphed in clusters per server. The graph shows the length of time each build takes. Each job is indicated in the graph by a line. The appearance of the line indicates whether the build is in progress (series of dots), or whether it completed (solid green), or failed (solid red).

To open the Jobs Graph window from the Building window, click the Jobs Graph button (see Figure 4-1) or choose View > Dmake Jobs Graph.

You can select a segment of one of the jobs in the graph to see its build output in the Selected Job Output display at the bottom of the window.
