Display Active Batch Jobs (DABJ)

Purpose: Use the Display Active Batch Jobs Screen to determine which batch jobs on the Job Management Screen are running successfully.

Display Active Batch Jobs

Which Jobs are Active Batch Jobs?

The Display Active Jobs screen displays the batch jobs that are running in the Order Administration application server across all servers, including jobs submitted through the ProcessIn message; see Using the ProcessIn REST Message to Start a Periodic Process in the Order Administration Web Services Guide on My Oracle Support (ID 2953017.1).

If a job is listed but is not actually running, use the JOBCLN periodic function to correct. See Using the JOBCLN Function to Resolve Job Status Across Servers.

If a Batch Job is not on the Display Active Batch Jobs Screen

If the batch job is not displayed on the Display Active Batch Jobs Screen for any of the Order Administration application servers, the batch job is not really running, regardless of the status of the job on the Job Management Screen or the status of the process that submitted the job.

Active batch jobs are listed on this screen in job number sequence.

Field Description

Job

A code identifying the batch job. See Periodic Functions Available to Schedule in the Implementation Guide for information on submitted job names.

Note:  Interactive jobs, such as the job started for each user session (for example, QPADEV0B9A), are not listed on this screen.

User

The user ID of the person who submitted the batch job.

Job Nbr

A system-assigned identification number to track the job.

Note:  The job_number returned to the ProcessIn Message identifies the job that starts the process; this number may not match the one displayed here, which identifies the job that was generated. Also, note that the job number changes when the job switches to a different host.

See the Order Administration Web Services Guide on My Oracle Support (ID 2953017.1).

Start Time

  • Thu = the day of the week

  • Nov = the month

  • 18 = the day of the month

  • 15:03:58 = the time when the job started, in hour, minute, and second format

  • UTC = the time zone

  • 2020 = the year
