Job Monitoring Functions

The Tamino Manager monitors all jobs that you start. You can use the Job Monitor to display information from the following categories:

Pending Alerts

Jobs in this category have unconfirmed alerts. Each job in this category is also listed in one of the other categories (running, completed, suspended jobs). The Pending Alerts category allows you quick access to potential problems without the need to search through all other categories. You can acknowledge all alerts in one action or acknowledge each alerted job separately, when you display the information about it.

These are alerts that were produced while jobs were processing and which have not been acknowledged yet. You can acknowledge the alerts when you display the information about them.

Running Jobs

These are jobs that are currently being processed.

Completed Jobs

These are jobs that have finished processing, even if they produced alerts (in this case, the jobs are displayed in both the Pending Alerts and the Completed Jobs).

Suspended Jobs

These are jobs that have been suspended.

This section contains information about the following:
