Purpose: Use the Display Active Batch Jobs Screen to determine which batch jobs on the Job Management Screen are running successfully.

• Which Jobs are Active Batch Jobs?

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

• Display Active Batch Jobs Screen

Which Jobs are Active Batch Jobs?

The Display Active Jobs screen displays the batch jobs that are running in the Order Management System application server across all servers, including jobs submitted through the ProcessIn message; see Using the ProcessIn REST Message to Start a Periodic Process.

If a job is listed but is not actually running, use the JOBCLN periodic function to correct. See Using the JOBCLN Function to Resolve Job Status Across Servers.

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

If the batch job is not displayed on the Display Active Batch Jobs Screen for any of the Order Management System 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 with inconsistent status: Use the JOBCLN periodic function. See Using the JOBCLN Function to Resolve Job Status Across Servers.
