The application uses jobs to define the instructions for executing the data pipelines or scenario pipelines against threshold sets, for example, running a scenario or loading data. These jobs can be included in batches (groups of jobs) which run at configured intervals against the selected threshold to detect and generate events. This allows the jobs to run automatically, without requiring your involvement. Jobs can also be used to monitor the execution of jobs.
To create a new job, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the OFS Transaction Monitoring page.
2. Click
to
access the Navigation List. The Navigation
List displays the list of modules.
3. Click Jobs in the Navigation List. The Jobs page opens in a new window.
4. Click
in
the upper-right corner. The Create Job pane
is displayed.
5. Provide the details as described in the following table:

Execution History enables you to view the complete history of job execution, such as the start and end time of the job execution, status of the job execution, log messages generated during job execution, and so on. This will help you see how your jobs are progressing and detect any recurring issues.
To view the execution history, follow these steps:
1. On the Jobs page, click the job for which you want to view the execution history.
2. The Execution History pane at the bottom of the page displays the historical information of the selected job. The details include the Batch ID, the date and time during which a job is executed, status of the job execution, and so on.
3. Click Monitor Execution corresponding to the batch ID for which you want to view more information of a batch.
ATTENTION:
Some batch IDs may display more than one execution. View the Execution History for the most recent execution to see how your jobs are progressing.
4. The Execution Monitor page is displayed in a new window. The page contains the following details:
§ The pipeline for which the job is created. The widgets in the pipeline are represented in different colors. Widgets are color coded to indicate the widget type and status of the job.
§ Log messages generated during the execution of the pipeline.
NOTE:
You can click the Create Event widget to display the Log Messages window. When working with a Scenario Pipeline, you can click the Add Hint option to add hints. Hints provide a mechanism to direct the optimizer to choose a certain query execution plan based on the specific criteria.
5. Click the widget marked as complete (with a check mark) to view the Log Messages dialog box with detailed information of the widget.
