Managing Jobs

This feature enables you to view and manage pending jobs and recent activity in the Narrative Reporting Job console.

Editing and Deleting Jobs

You can edit the schedule for pending jobs and delete pending and completed jobs. You can't modify or delete jobs that are still processing.

To edit jobs:

  1. From the Narrative Reporting Home page, select Jobs.

  2. In Pending Jobs, to change when a job runs, click the Actions menu drop down menu next to the desired job, then select Edit to open Schedule Jobs and modify the schedule.

Note:

When changing the frequency of a job, the job will not run at the new frequency until the next time it runs at the previous frequency; for example, if the job is set up to recur daily and you change the frequency to hourly, the job won't start running at the new hourly frequency until after the scheduled daily job runs the next day. If you want the job to begin running at the new frequency sooner, Oracle recommends that you delete the scheduled job and create a new one.

To delete jobs:

  1. From the Narrative Reporting Home page, select Jobs.

  2. In Pending Jobs, to delete a job, click the Actions menu drop down menu next to the desired job, then select Delete.

Duplicating Jobs

You can copy a job from Pending Jobs and edit all its scheduling and other settings.

To copy a job:

  1. From the Narrative Reporting Home page, select Jobs.

  2. In Pending Jobs, to copy a job, click the Actions menu drop down menu next to the desired job, then select Copy to open Schedule Jobs and modify the schedule.

    NOTE: It is recommended to change the copied job name to distinguish it from the source job name.

Viewing the Detailed Status of Completed Jobs

You can view the detailed status of a completed job in the Recent Activity panel.

To view a completed job’s details:

  1. From the Narrative Reporting Home page, select Jobs.

  2. In Recent Activity, to view the details of a job, click the Actions menu drop down menu next to the desired job, then select Details.

  3. The Details has three sections:

    • Job Result: displays the Summary and Details for the job completion.

    • Job Configuration: displays the Job Name, status and start and end dates.

    • Job Parameters: displays the bursting definition or report package name.
