Modifying Job Details
Once you have entered the parameters for the job, you can view the details of how the job is to be submitted by clicking the Job Details button. The fields in the Submission Details for Task window have default values set by your system administrator. They should be sufficient to run the job as set, but can be modified.
The Submission Details for Task window allows you to specify the output form of the results of a batch job: print, computer display (screen), or file, and where and when you want it to be printed or saved.

Reports Queue Manager
The Reports Queue Manager enables you to see scheduled and past jobs on the selected Reports Server, and to stop or reschedule a batch job. You can only examine one Reports Server's queue at a time, using this application.
To launch the Reports Queue Manager for a particular Reports Server:
- Choose Admin, then PSUB/Report Jobs, and Report Queue Manager. The Report Queue Manager window opens.
- Choose the Reports Server that you want to examine from the LOV. The window populates with its full domain and server name in the right most fields.
- Click OK. Oracle Clinical opens a new browser window, which loads the Reports Queue Manager data.
Each row represents a single batch job. Click the hyperlinked job status to investigate a particular job and manipulate it.
