Jobs tab

This tab provides a project-specific job table. Selecting the Jobs tab on the Project Details page displays only those jobs for the project you selected.

This table is a subset of the main Jobs tab that displays all jobs, regardless of the project of origin, and all Jobs page functionality is basically the same on either Jobs tab.

The following links and actions are available on this Jobs page:

  • Job—Sort the column alphabetically or click on a job name to go to that job’s Job Details page.

  • Status—Sort this column by Running, Success, Warning, Error, or Aborted.

  • Priority—Display the job’s priority set by a "run procedure" command or by the job’s schedule.

  • Procedure—Click a Procedure name to go to the Procedure Details page for that procedure.

  • Launched By—Click a name in this column to go to the page for the schedule (Edit Schedule page) or the user that ran the job.

  • Elapsed Time—Sort the time values from longest to shortest time, or the reverse.

  • Start Time—Sort this column from the start time of the first job to the start time of the most recent job, or the reverse.

  • Actions—Use this column to Abort a running job or Delete a completed job.

    If your job has finished running, you will not see the Abort link. Aborting a job requires the execute privilege on the job—not just the modify privilege.

    Select either OK or Force to abort the job, or Cancel if you change your mind.

Note: Deleting a job on this page causes removal of job information from the CloudBees CD/RO database, but information in the job’s on-disk workspace area is not affected. You must delete workspace information manually.

The Workflows tab provides the following functionality:

  • Name column—Click on a workflow name to go to its Workflow Details page.

  • State column—Click on a state name to go to its State Details page.

  • Workflow Definition column—Click on a workflow definition name to go to the Workflow Definition Details page.

  • Actions column—Click the Delete link to remove the workflow in that row.
