Searching for a job

In typical use, the JPS Database can fill quickly with thousands of jobs. To help find a specific job, you can click a column heading to sort by the heading name; for example, sorting by ID organizes the table with the most recently submitted jobs first. You can also filter the display according to jobs you own (User), job status, or search by keyword for matching text in a descriptive field.

On the Jobs page, the Filter bar provides you with the ability to filter the display of current jobs.

The available filters are:

All: displays all jobs currently in the JPS system
Running | Waiting: displays all jobs having a state of either Running or Waiting
Failed | Killed | Cancelled: displays all jobs having a state of either Failed, Killed, or Cancelled
Warnings: displays only jobs that have a warning state
Running | Waiting | Ready: displays all jobs having a state of either Running, Waiting, or Ready
Ready | Pending | Created: displays all jobs having a state of either Ready, Pending, or Created
Cancel Requested: displays only jobs for which a cancel request was made
Cancelled: lists only jobs that have been cancelled by the operator and cleanly shut down
Completed: lists only jobs that have completed normally
Created: lists only newly created jobs
Pending: lists jobs that are queued to run
Failed: lists only jobs that have stopped in the middle of processing due to error
Kill Requested: lists jobs for which a kill request was made
Killed: lists only jobs that were killed; these jobs may require manual cleanup
Ready: lists jobs that are ready to run; these jobs may run during next poll from server
Running: lists jobs that are actually being processed
Waiting: lists jobs that are running, but waiting for another job to end

To search for jobs in the JPS Administrator

On the Filter bar, select the Master check box to display jobs that spawned other jobs.
Select the User check box to display only jobs submitted by you, the current user.
Click the Search list, and then click a filter to sort the jobs by the state you want.
In the Search box, type a keyword, integer, or a combination thereof according to the value you want to search for.
The JPS filters the display according to the search you specified. If you did not find the job you were looking for, broaden or narrow the search criteria, as necessary, and then try running your search again.
