When a job executes in the foreground, you must wait until the job completes before continuing with other tasks. When a foreground job finishes executing, EPM Workspace displays:
For Interactive Reporting jobs, a link to the output in the folder where the job resides
For Production Reporting jobs, the HTML frame file
For generic jobs:
The primary output file, if there is only one
A list of primary output files, if there are multiple files
A list of all output files, if there is no primary one
When a job is executing in the background, you can perform other tasks in the foreground. When the background job finishes executing, the output files are written to the repository, and a notification message is displayed in the View Job Status panel of the Schedule module.
The Output link is displayed next to the job title. Click the Output link to view the job output.
