Viewing a Scheduled Job's History
From the Schedule Monitor, you can view the run history of a scheduled job. In the case of scheduled actions (including alerts), you can generate a ControlPoint Task Audit to view more detail about the job.
To view the history of a scheduled job:
·From the Schedule Monitor or Scheduled Jobs Report, click the job's Last Run link.
·From a scheduled job's detail page, click the [View History] button.
The Schedule History includes the following information:
·Run Start date and time
·Run End date and time
·process Status (Started, Completed, or Failed)
·in the case of a Failed job, a Message citing the reason for the failure.
As shown in the example below, a separate entry exists for each run of a recurring job. You can sort by either Run Start or Run End date by clicking the up/down arrows in the column header.
To view a ControlPoint Task Audit for a completed action:
Click the link (Completed or Failed) in the Status column.
