10.4.1 Settings required to check a job's status
To check a job's status, the following items must be set up.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Specifying the recorded results
If too many completed jobs are left among the list of results of completed jobs, the operation of Remote Install Manager may slow down. Therefore, we recommend that you only leave jobs with an execution status that requires your attention, among the results of completed jobs. The recorded result can be specified for each job destination type in the Result Recording Options panel in the Setup for Distribution by Using Remote Install Manager window during JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Manager set up.
(a) Normal job
If a job is a normal job (a job whose destination is not an ID group), you can select an execution status you want to record in the managing server from Error and Completed.
Note that this setting is invalid for the following jobs and all execution statuses are recorded on the managing server:
-
Send package, allow client users to choose
-
Get system information from computer (UNIX)#
-
Get software information from computer (UNIX)#
- #
-
This job is also applicable to agents for Mac. Therefore, if the destination is an agent for Mac, this setting is also invalid and all execution statuses are recorded on the managing server.
(b) ID group job
If a job is an ID group job, you can select an execution status you want to record in the managing server from Error, Finished, and Completed.
This setting is applied to all jobs of the same job type on the computers that belong to the ID group managed by the relay system. In the case of a job as described in 10.4.1(1)(a) Normal job, on a computer that belongs to the ID group managed by the managing server, this setting is disabled and the job is recorded for any execution status.
(2) Setting up a monitoring interval for the execution status
The job status is monitored by the managing server at regular intervals. You can set the job execution monitoring interval in the Job Environment dialog box.
If you specify a shorter job monitoring interval, the load may increase, and may affect operations of other applications. We recommend that you specify a monitoring interval of approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour.
To open the Job Environment dialog box, select Options and then Job in the Job Status window.

- Monitor job
-
Specifies the job monitoring interval. The system monitors the job execution status when the Enable monitoring check box is selected. You can specify a job monitoring interval between 1 second to 10 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds. By default, this check box is selected and the monitoring interval is set to 15 minutes.
If you specify the monitoring time interval, the items selected in the left pane and all the items in the right pane in the Job Status window are updated at every job monitoring time. If you have not set up a job monitoring time, or if you want to update the information at a time other than the job monitoring timing, double click a folder hierarchy one level above the item whose status you want to check, in the left pane of the Job Status window, to refresh the view.
- Read Agents Partially
-
The Job Status window allows you to manage the number of hosts to read (i.e. amount of data) for the jobs to be displayed.
-
Match window size
The system reads the amount of data for twice the number of hosts that can be displayed in the window. The unread data will be newly read when you manipulate the vertical scroll bar the next time.
-
Specify the number
Specify a value from 1 to 2,147,483,647. Regardless of the number of hosts that can be displayed in the window, the specified number of hosts are read when the window is displayed. If you check the results for a job executed on hundreds or thousands of hosts, specify this option and limit the amount of data to be read. However, if the specified number of hosts is smaller than twice the number of hosts that can be displayed in the window, the system reads the amount of data for twice the number of hosts that can be displayed in the window.
