5. Job and Profile Management
A. Job Manager
The central tool for managing submitted and completed computational chemistry jobs is the Job
Manager.
The top of the Job Manager displays account information (username, total time limit , job time
limit) and the current number of queued jobs. The main portion of the Job Manager is a list of
completed and submitted jobs, which can be managed with various actions. Buttons at the bottom
of the Job Manager allow one to create new jobs, import existing jobs, and edit one’s profile, and
access online help.
Jobs are initiated by clicking the Create New Job button at the bottom of Job Manager. After a
job has been submitted it will appear the Available Jobs list with the status of Queued or Running.
After the job completes, the status will be changed to Complete or Failed. The status of the job
list can be updated with the Refresh button.
IMPORTANT TIP: Set your web browser to load documents every time, rather than pulling
them from its cache. Internet Explorer users should click Tools, click Internet Options..., click
the General tab, and click the Settings... button under “Temporary Internet files.” Select “Every
visit to the page” under “Check for newer versions of stored pages.” Netscape users should click
View, click Options..., click the + sign next to Advanced, and click Cache. Select “Every time”
under “Document in cache is compared to document on network.”

• Raw Output: Monitor a running job, or view a failed job
• View: View a completed job
• Restart: Restart a failed job by placing last valid geometry on Build Molecule page
