Working With Jobs Queue

The Jobs Queue option is available once you launch the Dell Repository Manager. Jobs Queue is a feature which is

added to the Dell Repository Manager to enhance usability. You can control and perform different tasks for various

repositories under the same console using this feature. With the previous versions of the DRM (until DRM 1.4) users

needed to wait for one job to complete before performing another job. Using this feature the user can perform, monitor,

and prioritize different jobs at the same time. The tasks can be performed using the Stop, Start, Remove, and Details

tabs.

NOTE: Some of the jobs in the Jobs Queue require the end user to confirm them before it is completed. You can

Accept or Reject the job before it goes to the Jobs Queue.

Stopping Jobs In The Jobs Queue

Select the check box next to the job from the Jobs Queue and click Stop to pause that particular job. You can stop a job

at any time while it is running. Once you Start a job that has been stopped, the job restarts from the beginning.
