Options at this screen

Note:

  • Only users with View Active Schedules authority can display this screen. See the Role Wizard for more information.
  • Available only if there are any identity cloud service synchronization records that have not been purged.
  • History is retained for the number of days specified in the Job History retention setting at the Tenant-Admin screen.
Option Procedure
Search for a synchronization job

Use the Job Number, Start Date, or Status fields to restrict the displayed synchronization jobs to those that match your entries and click Search:

  • Job Number = Optionally, enter an job ID number to display this synchronization job only.
  • Start Date = Optionally, enter a date to display synchronization jobs that took place on that date.
  • Status = Optionally, select a status of:
    • Error to display a synchronization job that ended in error.
    • Running to display a synchronization job that is currently running for the system.
    • Rejected because another instance of the job was already running.

    • Failed to display synchronization jobs that included any records in error.
    • Success to display synchronization jobs that completed without any errors.

      Note:

      You cannot select a status of Paused; however, a job stays in this status only briefly when it switches to another server to complete running.
Understand general errors

If an error occurred for a synchronization job itself, it is displayed in the Error field.

Fields on this screen

Field Description
Search fields
Job Number

A unique ID number assigned by Order Broker to identify a synchronization job.

Note: A job is associated with a single job number, regardless of whether Order Broker breaks it out into multiple batches for processing.

Start Date

The date and time when the synchronization job started.

Status

Optionally, select a job status from the drop down list and click Search to display jobs that are currently in that status. Possible statuses are:

  • Error (Illustrates the red X icon.): The entire job failed.
  • Rejected (Illustrates the rejected icon.): The job was rejected because another synchronization was in process.
  • Running (Illustrates the running man icon.): The job is currently running.
  • Success (Illustrates the green check icon.): The job ran successfully, even if one or more individual records failed.

    Note:

    You can select a status of Paused; however, a job stays in this status only briefly when it switches to another server to complete running, and then Order Broker restarts it automatically.

  • A red X (Illustrates the red X icon.) indicates that an error occurred and the job failed.
