View jobs in OMIMSSC Admin Portal and
OpenManage Integration Dashboard
You can view all information about the tasks initiated in OMIMSSC along with a job's progress status, and its sub task by using
the Jobs and Logs page. Also, you can filter and view jobs for a category. You can view the jobs from the OMIMSSC Admin
Portal and OpenManage Integration dashboard.
Job names are provided by users or are system generated, and the sub tasks are named after the IP address of the managed
server. Expand the sub task to view the activity logs for that job. There are four categories of jobs:
The various states of jobs defined in OMIMSSC are:
● Canceled—The job either manually canceled by you or when OMIMSSC restarts.
● Successful—The job is successfully completed.
● Failed— The job could not be successfully run.
● In Progress—The job is running.
● Scheduled—The job has been scheduled for a future time.
● Waiting—The job is in a queue to start running.
● Recurring—The job will repeatedly run after a fixed interval of time.
NOTE:
If multiple jobs are submitted at the same time to the same server, the jobs fails. Therefore, ensure that you
schedule jobs at different times.
