Step table

This main area of the Station Job List view shows a row for each step that has been executed against the station. No record is available for a step’s execution unless it has started. For this reason, the following steps do not appear in this view:

  • steps for jobs not yet started.
  • steps for jobs that are running, but are still running prior steps.
  • steps that come after any earlier steps (for any station) that were canceled.
  • steps that would have executed after another step, but the other step failed for this station.

Because of this, the Station Job List is not the appropriate view to use to find the answer for questions like, “Why did the backup scheduled for Tuesday on this station not run?” For this type of information, look in the Niagara Network Job List of the ProvisioningNwExt.

The step table includes columns for various data. You can do any of the following within the table:

  • To view any step’s Step Log File View, which is the same as using the Step Details button at the bottom of the view, click the “>>” (Details) button to the right of the status
  • To view the Job Log for any job, double-click any step row. The Job Log lists a series of messages about the step. This is the same as using the View Log button at the bottom of the view.
  • Right-click a step for a popup menu, providing the same functions as those provided by the buttons at bottom of view.

  • Success — job finished successfully, with all steps completed for all stations.
  • Canceled — job was canceled before it completed, and is no longer running.
  • Failed — at least one step failed in one station; job is no longer running.

Each row in the table ends with a details button (>>) and a dispose button (X) . Clicking this button changes the view to the Niagara Network Job view or the Batch Job Step Log File view, which shows all logged messages that are related to this single job.
