(a) Types of execution status of ID group jobs

Table 8-5 shows the types of ID group job execution status that are displayed in the Job Status window when you clear the Clients of ID or All-Lower-Clients Jobs option.

For the types of execution status of a job that are displayed when the Clients of ID or All-Lower-Clients Jobs option is selected and a client is selected in the left-hand section of the Job Status window, see 8.4.3(3)(a) Types of job execution status.

Table 8-5 Types of execution status of ID group jobs

Job execution status	Progress	Color indicating the execution status	Description
Waiting for transmission	0%	White	Job was created, but it has been placed on transfer-wait status on the managing server.
Registering#	Registering	White	Job is being transferred to the relay system managing the ID group. In a hierarchical managing server system, the job is being transferred from the relay manager/system directly under the central manager to the relay system managing the ID group.
Standing by#	Standing by	White	Job is being transferred from the relay system managing the ID group to client systems, or the job is executing.
Finished	Finished	Green	Package managed at the relay system has been deleted.
Error	0%	Red	Error occurred during execution.

For an ID group job registered in JP1/Software Distribution 06-51 or earlier, the display settings of that version apply. The display settings of the current version apply, however, for an ID group job in Registering status.

(b) ID group job execution status transitions

Figure 8-36 shows the ID group job execution status transitions when you clear the Clients of ID or All-Lower-Clients Jobs option.

To check the execution status at a client of a job with an ID group specified:

1. In the Job Status window, choose View and then Clients of ID or All-Lower-Clients Jobs.
2. Double-click the job with an ID group specified.
   The ID group is displayed under the job's hierarchical level.

3. Double-click the ID group.
   The clients belonging to this ID group are displayed under the ID group's hierarchical level.

4. Click a client.
   The job execution status at the selected client is displayed in the right-hand section.

The higher system's Job Status window can be used to check the execution status of a job with an ID group specified from Remote Installation Manager at the relay system.

To check the execution status of a job with an ID group:

1. In the Job Status window, choose View and then Jobs of Relay System.
   The relay system's folder is displayed, followed by the job names that the relay system has assigned. The job name is IB + job-registration-date-and-time.
   

Note that during JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system) setup, if you did not select the check box for the option Report the ID group job status to the managing server on the Remote Installation Manager page, the managing server's Job Status window will not display an ID group job executed in a relay system.

You should note the following about checking the execution status of a job with an ID group specified:

• If you execute a job with an ID group specified from UNIX JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system) on a UNIX relay system, JP1/Software Distribution Manager will not display the execution status.
• If you specified an execution time for a job with an ID group specified in the relay system, the managing server does not display the execution status until the job is actually executed.
• At the managing server, you cannot display the status of a job in which an error occurred during communication between the relay system managing the ID group and a client.
