Jobs

See what each job does on each database, act on a job that is stuck or fails, and set the schedule of each job.

Before you begin

You need Manage Settings. The page refreshes every five seconds.

Find a job that needs you

Open Settings › Jobs.
Under Needs you, click a database. Active and All show more databases.
On the right, read the jobs under Needs you. Each row gives the state and the reason.

Run or restart a job

Click the icon at the end of the job row. Point to it first to see what it does.

Job	What the icon does
A job with its own thread on each database	Restarts the job on this database only. It starts again within a minute.
A stuck job	Restarts the job on every database, after you confirm. Scops drops the work that is stuck.
Any other job	Runs the job on this database now.

Change the schedule of a job

Job Settings with the cards Every few minutes, At a set time and System jobs, and for each job its switch, its schedule, At once and its last run

Click Job Settings at the top right.
Change On, Runs every, Runs at or At once.
Click Save.

A change applies from the next run. Runs every is 1 to 1,440 minutes, and At once is 1 to 500 databases at the same time. A system job is always on: only its At once can change.

What you see

State	Meaning
Stuck	A call did not return within the time limit of the job.
Failed n times, Failing	The last runs on this database failed.
Running	The job works on the database now.
Waiting	The job waits for a free thread, or a free place in its At once.
Idle	The job is on time.
Switched off, Not set up	The job is off, or it does not work on this database.

A red slot in the thread blocks is a stuck call. If a database is still busy at the next run, the job skips it. The other databases do not wait.
