Categories
The Job Status page displays lists of paused, scheduled, or failed jobs.
Paused Jobs
A module in a Lasernet workflow can be configured to pause jobs that pass through it. Pause a job to verify that a module's output looks correct before releasing it to its output destination (or destinations).
After checking a paused job, you must manually release it. Lasernet unpauses the job and continues to process it.
When a paused job is released by a user, it is passed to the job destination (or destinations) specified by the module that paused the job. In Lasernet Developer, one or more of a module’s destinations can be designated as an alternative. Alternative destinations are skipped when you release jobs unless you specifically choose to release a job to them.
Scheduled Jobs
A module in a Lasernet workflow can have a schedule applied to it. For example, a module’s schedule can be “18:00:00 daily”; this schedule will pause the job until the time reaches 18:00.
The system automatically releases scheduled jobs from their paused state according to their schedule. Scheduled jobs can be manually released.
Alternative destinations are not configurable for scheduled jobs.
Failed Jobs
If a job has failed in Lasernet, it is often because communication cannot be established between an output module and the external environment, such as an email server.
To retry a failed job, select the jobs that you want to release and then click Release in the action bar. Alternatively, to release all listed failed jobs, click Release All. Lasernet will process the jobs again (from the same state that they failed) by attempting to reconnect and send the job again.
Instead of retrying jobs, you can delete them. Select jobs and then Delete in the action bar, or click Delete All to delete all listed jobs.
Queues
The queue list contains a tree of queues. Each queue contains jobs of each category (paused, scheduled, and failed). If a queue does not contain jobs, it is not displayed.
The tree queue has two levels. Each entry in the tree shows how many jobs it contains.
Level 1: Logical module name.
Level 2: Jobs can have a special JobInfo called FormType. Entries at the second level of the tree group jobs by their FormType value.
For example:
XML Output 1 (18)
Invoice (18)
PDF Output 1 (76)
PDF Documents (76)
The FormType JobInfo is a special JobInfo that is defined on the environment. If no FormType is specified for a job, it is grouped under a <None> entry.
FormType is stored by default, so a JobInfo profile does not need to be created to use this feature.
