System Administration
Configure Job Status Types
The DSP® is delivered with Job Status Types that indicate where a job is in the execution process. Job Status Types are:
- Cancelled
- Executed
- Failed
- Initializing
- Processing
- Ready
A user cannot delete or add Job Status Types, but can update settings as indicated below.
To configure Job Status Types:
- Select Admin > Configuration > Setup > Job Status Types in the Navigation pane.
-
Click Edit for a job status type.
- Enter a description of the type in the DESCRIPTION field.
-
Enter a number in the RETENTION DAYS field.
NOTE: This field sets the number of days jobs with this job status type are retained. After the retention date has passed, the job is deleted from the DSP® tables. Generally, the default value is appropriate; however, if DSP® performance is slow because a table is large, users may set the value lower to keep the table smaller. Users may also lower the value to prevent the database from growing too large.
-
Enable or disable the SHOW ON JOBS SCREEN check box as needed.
NOTE: This setting determines whether jobs in this status display on the All Jobs page.
- Click Save.
