About the Jobs Console

The Jobs Console in the EPM Books panel displays a list of jobs. A job represents a process of importing a Book in to Oracle Smart View for Office. In the Jobs Console, you can refresh the status of jobs, download imported Books to Smart View, remove jobs, and list jobs from the current connection or all connectons from which you have imported Books.

The top portion of the Books panel lists all Books available for import from the current data source connection. Once you import a job, a job is added to the Jobs Console. Each row in the Jobs Console lists the jobs that you have import for the current connection. You can also choose to toggle the display to show jobs for all connections from which you have imported Books.

Figure 11-9 shows an example of the Books panel with Books listed in the Books list. All Books in the current connection have been imported and the jobs are shown in various states in the Jobs Console.
