Using vRanger > My Inventory view > Working Inventory pane

Working Inventory pane

The Working Inventory pane lists any configured jobs for the node selected in the Inventory pane.

The data presented here — including Type, Name, and Schedule — can be sorted by dragging a column heading. When you click, an arrow is displayed in the column heading, indicating the sort order — ascending or descending. Click the column heading again to change the sort order. The same data can be grouped by dragging a column heading to the target area above all the headings. Taking this step groups current jobs by that data type.

If you click to select a job in the Working Inventory pane and then click the Run icon, the job is moved to the My Jobs: Scheduled Jobs. From this location, you can start the job. After the backup has been completed, it is moved to My Jobs: Recent Jobs.

My Jobs view

Using vRanger > My Jobs view

My Jobs view

The My Jobs view consists of the My Jobs pane on the left, the Activity pane on the upper right, and the Job Detail pane on the lower right. Use this view to add, run, schedule, disable, or cancel a backup job. From this view you must have either the Scheduled Jobs or On Demand Jobs node — in the My Jobs pane — selected to add a job.

A job can be made up of many tasks. Even if some of its tasks fail, the job itself can complete successfully. In this view, you can also confirm configuration settings for a job. My Jobs makes monitoring jobs and tasks easy. Use the Job Detail pane to track job progress. To view task progress, see the Task Detail area. Use the tool to view job history and check status.

My Jobs pane

The My Jobs pane displays task and job information for each of the following statuses: Current; Recent; Scheduled; On Demand; and Disabled. For Current and Recent jobs, associated tasks are listed in separate categories. In these nodes, jobs and tasks are distinguished in this format — x, y — where x is the number of jobs and y refers to the number of tasks that make up the job. The numbers in the Current Jobs node corresponds to the values in the Status Bar’s Active Jobs Count and Active Tasks Count areas, respectively.

Activity pane

Using vRanger > My Jobs view > Activity pane

Activity pane

The data that appears in the Activity pane depends on the category that you select in the My Jobs pane. You can expand a job listing to display data on tasks associated with that job. For the Recent Jobs, On Demand Jobs, and Disabled Jobs, the Activity pane features data organized in these categories:

Name: Displays the name of the job.
Type: Refers to job type.
Source: Indicates the host or cluster in which the source server resides.
Destination: For backup jobs, this category indicates the repository selected in the backup job. For restore and replication jobs, this category indicates the target host or server.
Status: Lists the status of the backup or restore job or task: Completed, Failed, Aborted, or None.
Start Time: Lists when the job or task was initiated.
Duration: Indicates length of time that the job or task took to complete.
Message: Displays more information about a task or job. For example, “Host is not licensed” or “Please check host credentials.”

If you select the Current Jobs node, all the preceding categories display in the Activity pane. In addition, data for the following categories is included: Throughput and Progress.

In the vRanger UI, you can clearly distinguish the running job (parent) and the running task (child). To view details for either job or task, click to select the object. Either the Job Detail or Task Detail area appears at the bottom of the Activity pane.

You can sort the columns in the Activity pane by clicking them. When you click, an arrow displays in the column heading, indicating the sort order — ascending or descending. Click the column heading again to change the sort order.

If you select any sub-category under the Recent Jobs node and then right-click a job or task in the Activity pane, a Go To menu appears. The available commands list depends on the activities previously associated with that job or task. For example:

If you select a category under Current Jobs, Scheduled Jobs, or On Demand Jobs and then right-click a job or task in the Activity pane, the following navigation options display:

For Scheduled Jobs, the Activity pane features two tabbed areas: List View and Calendar View. List View displays scheduled jobs by data type: Name, Type, Source, Destination, Enabled, and Next Run. The Calendar View offers monthly, weekly, daily options for viewing scheduled jobs. Below this area, the Job Template Detail area features basic configuration information about the job selected in the List View.

Click the node in the My Jobs pane to display Job and Results areas in the Activity pane. After the results display, you can click to select any entry and additional information about the job appears in the Job Template Detail area below the results, which you can save.
