Understanding the Job Status Codes

The following status codes are applicable to job processing and the dispatcher. The OFSBD administrator sets these codes through an OFSBD Job Editor:

• NEW (start): Indicates a new job that is ready to be processed.
• RES (restart): Indicates that restarting the existing job is necessary.
• IGN (ignore): Indicates that the dispatcher should ignore the job and not process it. This status identifies Job Templates.

The following status codes appear in the KDD_JOB table when a job is processing:

• RUN (running): Implies that the job is running.
• FIN (finished): Indicates that the job finished without errors.
• ERR (error): Implies that the job terminated due to an error.
