Jobs typically run at predetermined intervals. The jobs that exist in all repositories have default schedules when they are created. Refer to Changing the schedule of a job, for instructions on modifying a job’s schedule.
Most jobs pass standard arguments to the method executed by the job. The arguments are set on the Method tab for each job, and can be modified in most cases.
Use these instructions to run a job manually (at a time other than the scheduled run time). Note that a job invoked in this fashion runs when the agent exec process starts the job, not when you click Run. The agent exec process polls the repository every five minutes, so the start of the job is delayed up to five minutes, depending on when you clicked Run and when the agent exec process last polled the repository.
To run a job:
Select the job to run.
Click Tools > Run.
When the agent exec process next polls the repository, the job runs.
To view the status of a running job after you start it, click View > Refresh.
The list page refreshes and the Status column for the job is updated. You may need to click View > Refresh several times because the job does not run immediately after you click Tools > Run.
To view the job report, select the job and click View > Report.
To view the trace log for the job, select the job and click View > Trace.
The tracing level for the job must be set high enough to generate a trace log, or no trace log is found.
