Tasks You Can Perform Using the Job Status Manager

The Job Status Manager is a graphical tool that helps you centrally manage Arcserve Backup servers across the enterprise.

You can use the Job Status Manager to:

• View all available Arcserve Backup servers, job history, job queues, and activity logs.
• Manage jobs--stop, add, run, delete, modify, reschedule jobs, and place jobs in a hold status.
• Monitor the progress of active jobs that are running on Arcserve Backup primary servers and member servers. You can view the real-time status of active jobs in the queue.
• View job detail and job log information about all the jobs that have been executed.
• View activity and media logs.
• Stop an active job.
• Modify user names and passwords associated with a job.
• Preflight Check the job.

Pop-up menus enable you to perform various operations with the Job Status Manager. These menus appear in both the left (server browser) and right (Job Queue) panels. To access a menu, right-click a selected item. When accessing a pop-up menu in the browser, the pointer must be on a selected group, server, or object. When accessing a pop-up menu in the Job Queue, a job must be selected.

Note: When you submit a job that spawns child jobs, the Job Queue tab displays details about the master job only. The Activity Log tab displays details about the master and child jobs. The Activity Log presents you with a description for the job.

Important! When you are executing a multistreaming, multiplexing, or disk staging job, the number of child jobs associated with a master job will never exceed the number streams specified for the job. However, if a job spawns multiple child jobs and the value specified for the Multiplexing Max # of Streams option is one, the child jobs will be created and backed up in one continuous stream (the default Max # Stream is four).
