The Job Spooler allows a user to access the results of any long running background jobs that may have been launched in a session. It has several uses, including:
- Viewing the progress and status of any Model jobs (for data cleansing or preparation)
- Viewing the progress and status of any long running Print jobs. This also includes being able to access the finished print result.
- Viewing the progress and status of any Auto Discovery jobs.
Accessing the Job Spooler
Open the job spooler from the App Tray at the bottom-right of the App Tab interface (yellow arrow below):
Each type of long running process is listed in the table. Each has its own nuances.
Common Details
Status / Alert
When an item is placed in the job spooler, you'll see an Alert icon on the Job Spooler in the App Tray (yellow arrow above) indicating the status of all spooled jobs:
- Green - All jobs are completed and ready.
- Yellow - Some jobs are in progress.
- Red - All jobs are completed but some are failed.
In Progress Jobs
The image above shows the Job Spooler where a Print job is in progress. While any job is in progress in this view, its status is Yellow and the Actions available are limited (purple arrow above).
Tip: You can hover your cursor over the Action icons to view the available action name as a tooltip.
Clearing the Job Spooler
A system maintenance event runs every day. All spooled scheduled events more than 48 hours old will be cleared.
Model Jobs
When a new data model is processed, the associated job is added to the job spooler (blue highlight below):
Once the job is complete, you can use the following Actions:
- Open the model in Discover from the spooler.
- View the job's progress log.
- Remove the job from the spooler.
Model Progress Log
From the Model Progress log, you can review each component (Node) of the Model flow. Each node listing can be expanded to review additional details.
For each listing you'll see:
- The time of execution
- The node name
- The execution status
- The execution message
Printing Jobs
Discover, Present, and Publish items can be printed by clicking the print button in each app. If the printing is completed quickly, the results are popped to the browser immediately for the user. However, there are times when the printing process can take time to complete.
Alternatively, the user may choose to Spool Print Job from the Print & Export dialog. This is only available for Discover and Publish.
All session printing jobs are listed in the spooler - even those that were NOT explicitly sent to the spooler. This allows users to re-open previously printed output if necessary.
For each print job in the spooler, users will see:
- Actions: Click the Download button to download and open the item. Click the Summary button to open the Print and Export Summary dialog. Click Remove button to remove the item from the job spooler.
- Status: Indicates if a job was successful or not (green - successful, yellow - in progress, red - failed, gray - canceled).
- Activity: the name of the item, and the selected output type
- Start Time: the time at which the job was run
- End Time: the time at which the job was completed
Auto Discovery Jobs
When you launch an Auto Discovery process, a spooled job is created.
When the job has completed (typically after several minutes), click the Present icon (purple arrow below) to open the AI-built Present dashboard that contains the automated analyses and results:
