Which Jobs are Active Batch Jobs?

The Work with Active Jobs screen displays the batch jobs that are running on the Order Management System Cloud Service application server where you are currently logged on. The top of the Work with Active Jobs screen indicates the name and IP address of the Order Management System Cloud Service application server. For example, if the name of the Order Management System Cloud Service application server is oms-server1 and its IP address is 192.168.255.255, a message indicates:

Active jobs for current server (oms-server1/192.168.255.255) only.

Important: The Job Management Screen displays submitted jobs across all Order Management System Cloud Service application servers, while the Display Active Batch Jobs Screen displays only batch jobs that are running for the specific Order Management System Cloud Service application server where you are currently logged on. In order to review all batch jobs that are currently running, you need to log into Order Management System Cloud Service using each application server and review the Display Active Batch Jobs screen.

Note: The system may assign the job to a different server, so even if you submitted the job on the current server, the job will not be included on this screen for this server.

If a Batch Job is not on the Display Active Batch Jobs Screen

To troubleshoot:

• First, verify that the job is not running on another Order Management System Cloud Service application server. The Display Active Batch Jobs Screen displays only batch jobs that are running on the Order Management System Cloud Service application server where you are currently logged on. Note that the system may assign the job to a different server, so even if you submitted the job on the current server, the job will not be included on this screen for this server.

• If the batch job is not displayed on the Display Active Batch Jobs Screen for any of the Order Management System Cloud Service application servers, the batch job is not really running, regardless of the status of the job on the Job Management Screen or the status of the process that submitted the job.

To correct a job history with inconsistent status:

1. On the Job Management Screen, select End for the job and then select Remove.

2. If the process that submitted the batch job is listed as active, change its status to inactive.

3. Restart the process that submitted the job in order to resubmit the job.

4. Verify that the batch job is now on the Display Active Batch Jobs screen and that the Job Management displays its status as RUN.
