This main area shows a Supervisor-wide list of provisioning jobs that have been sent to run, are running, or have completed. Note that any pending jobs do not appear until the linked trigger schedule actually fires.

This jobs table differs from the one in the Job Service Manager view on the station’s JobService in the following ways:

  • This table shows all NiagaraNetwork provisioning jobs, whereas the Job Service Manager table shows only 10 jobs maximum (of various types, and not just provisioning jobs).
  • Jobs persist (remain) following a station restart, whereas all jobs are cleared under the JobService.
  • More information shows in this table, with columns for start time, end time, and so on.
  • You can double-click any job row to view its Job Log, a series of messages about the job. This is the same as using the View Log button at the bottom of the view).
  • You can right-click a job for a popup menu—providing the same functions as that provided by the buttons at view bottom.

To open the Job Log for an individual job, double-click the job row. To view Job Details, click the “>>” button next to the job’s status descriptor.

  • 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.
