Queued Jobs Tile

As part of processes to run jobs (tasks), for example Finance Integration or the Data Import Tool, batches of data are released to the system for processing.  Where this occurs a level of transparency is required to display the items that have been sent for processing and the status of those events.

A Dashboard item displays a list of ‘Queued Jobs’.  The list includes information like the Queue Number, the Batch ID, Date Queued, and Description (status).  The status of a queued job may be ‘Pending’, ‘Completed’ or where the system has been unable to process the job over a period of 24 hours, ‘Failed’.

By default, jobs that were queued to the Process Queue and have completed processing or that have failed will remain listed in the Queued Jobs pane on the Portal Dashboard for twenty-four hours from the time that their status changes to Completed or Failed respectively. Therefore, if you are monitoring the Process Queue to check if a job has been completed, the list of jobs you will see in the Queued Jobs pane will include any jobs that have been completed or that have failed in the last twenty-four hours.

However, a system administrator can increase or decrease the duration for which completed and failed jobs are to remain listed in the Queued Jobs pane. This can be controlled via the following options on the Recruitment Manager > Maintenance > General Items > System Settings screen:

• Display Completed Jobs in Process Queue for X Days

• Display Failed Jobs in Process Queue for X Days.

The Process Queue operates as a background service that automatically processes the next job in the queue. The amount of time that it takes for a queued job to be processed can depend on a number of factors such as the following:

• the amount of data included in the job

• the number of jobs that are already queued for processing

• the amount of network traffic on your system.
