Checking the Status of Reports

When you click OK on the Process Scheduler Request page, the system returns you to your application page. Use the Process Monitor to view the status of your submitted processes. Process Monitor is a tool designed to track the status of all running, pending, and completed Process Scheduler requests.

Note: The time it takes for a process request to complete varies. The complexity of the process and the current load on the system are examples of the factors that can lengthen the duration of a process request. For example, a large, complicated report extracting large volumes of data will take longer to run than a simpler report. Keep this in mind when monitoring the status of your process requests.

Access Process Monitor (click the Process Monitor link or select PeopleTools > Process Scheduler > Process Monitor.
