Graphical Job Scheduling Monitor (SAP Library

Graphical Job Scheduling Monitor

Definition

The graphical job scheduling monitor shows you both the background jobs waiting to be processed and the currently available background processing resources. It also automatically reports malfunctions relating to background processing, such as jobs that have terminated abnormally, via an alert monitor. From here, you can also display job attributes and job logs.

Job Status Legend

You can see an online key to the meaning of the different color and pattern combinations used to show the status of jobs by clicking on the Legend button.

Color/Pattern	Meaning
Light gray	Scheduled but not yet released to run.
Light green	Released but the start time has not yet arrived.
Dark green	Ready. The start time has passed and the job is assigned to a work process. Jobs shown in dark green are normally just about to start.
Yellow with <<<< shading	Delayed start. The scheduled start time has been reached, but the job has not yet been started by a background processing scheduler. A lot of yellow in the display indicates that the scheduler is not operating normally. Possible error causes to be investigated are work processes that are blocked (by faulty programs) or deactivated or faulty schedulers.
Blue and white with blue frame	Currently being processed. The blue part of the box shows the actual runtime to date. The white part shows the estimated runtime remaining.
Red with >>>> shading	Estimated runtime has been exceeded. If the estimation was very far off, check to see if the scheduled program is running correctly.
White with cross-hatching	Ended normally
Red with cross-hatching	Terminated abnormally. Consult the job log for more information. This is also reported in the alert monitor.
Horizontal shading	Currently being processed, but no runtime statistics exist, making estimation of runtime impossible.
