The Job Queue contains a list of all of the current scheduled jobs. Each time you schedule a report (including via the Schedule the report to run in the background option on the Run Report page), a new entry is added to the Job Queue.

You can open the Job Queue directly from a toolbar button on the Report Catalog or Review Reports page.

Use the Job Queue page to review the status of scheduled jobs.

To limit the list to specific jobs, enter all or part of a Job Name in the field at the top of the page, then click Go.

For example, if you have include a department name in the each job name that you create, you could enter a department name to show only results for a specific department.

Click Clear to remove the search criteria and return to the full list.

Paging options are provided at the bottom of the Job Queue when there are too many jobs to list on a single page. Click the right and left arrows to move forward or backward through the list.

For each job, the Job Queue provides the following information:

Status shows whether the job has been scheduled, is currently running, or has run recently.

State indicates whether the job is enabled or disabled. Disabled jobs are not currently being scheduled and run, but can be enabled again later for reuse.

Recurrence shows how often the job is scheduled to run (once, daily, weekly, or monthly).

Click the Details link in the History column to find more information about the job, including how many times it has run.

Next Scheduled shows when the job will run next. If no date is listed for a job, it has already run as many times as it was defined to run.

Owner lists the administrator who created the job. This information can make it easier to find your own jobs, or find out who created a report that you would like to use.

Use the buttons at the bottom of the Job Queue run, delete, enable, or disable an existing job. Mark the box next to each job you want to run, delete, enable, or disable.

Run Now causes the job to run, regardless of when or if it is scheduled to run at another time. If you select a recurring job, it continues to also run on its regular schedule.

Delete completely removes the job from the queue. There is no recovery mechanism for deleted jobs.

Enable a job to edit it or cause it to resume running on its configured schedule.

Disable a job to stop it from running without removing it from the queue.

Click Add Job to open the Scheduler wizard and create another scheduled report.

Click Refresh to refresh the information displayed (for example, in case scheduled jobs have been created or run while you were reviewing job information).

Edit a scheduled report job

After a scheduled report has been defined and run, you may need to make changes, for example, to the report schedule or recur ran ce pattern, or to the recipients of the report. You can change any part of the scheduled report definition, including the job name.

To edit a job, open the Job Queue and click the job name. The Schedule Report tab of the Scheduler wizard opens, displaying the current scheduled job definition.

To start, first change the Start date and (if needed) the start time. If the date and time are in the past, an error message appears when you try to navigate to the next page. Start date changes affect the next run of the job, but not previous runs.
