Scheduled jobs

In Cloudera Data Visualization (CDV), a scheduled job is a predefined task or action that is set to occur automatically repeated according to a specified interval.

Scheduled jobs are designed to streamline repetitive processes, such as data extraction or report generation by automating their running according to a predetermined schedule. When creating a scheduled job, you can configure the details of the task, such as its frequency, timing, and parameters.

The Scheduled Jobs tab presents a comprehensive list of jobs that follow a running schedule. These can be scheduled jobs (the action is scheduled) or threshold (the trigger assessment is scheduled) jobs. It also shows the options and actions available for managing all your jobs running a schedule.

1. Filters for scheduled job are based on Type, Status, Owner, and Last Run Date Range.

2. Job ID is a unique identifier for each job, shared between the Scheduled Jobs and Job Log tabs for easy debugging.

3. Name is the name of the scheduled job.

4. Target specifies the target of the scheduled job.

5. Type specifies the method in which the job is repeated. It can be:

   • Adhoc – initiated manually
   • Schedule – running automatically at specified intervals
   • Threshold – triggered when specific conditions or thresholds are met

6. Details provide additional information such as threshold details (if applicable), email recipients, and schedule type.

7. Owner identifies the user who created the scheduled job. For more information, see Changing the owner of a job.

8. Schedule indicates the frequency of running the job, either standard types (weekly, hourly) or a custom interval.

9. Last Run is the timestamp of the job's last run.

10. Next Run is the timestamp of the job's next expected run.

11. Last Status indicates whether the job is paused or active.

12. Actions:

    • Details open the information module of the job log.
    • More info opens the Job Details page.
    • Edit opens the Edit Job modal window and allows you to edit the details of the scheduled job.
    • Run Now initiates a rerun of the job.
    • Pause suspends a scheduled or triggered job indefinitely, while preserving its definition. This allows you to temporarily stop the scheduling of the job without affecting its underlying configuration. You can resume a paused job.
    • Resume restarts a previously paused scheduled or triggered job.

13. Bulk actions: There is a checkbox at the end of each job entry, facilitating bulk deletion, rerun, or resume operations. Additionally, the checkbox on the header row allows for selecting all jobs for an action.

14. DELETE SELECTED performs a delete on all selected jobs.

15. RUN NOW reruns all selected jobs.

16. RESUME restarts all selected jobs that have been paused.
