Job Scheduler
The Job Scheduler in Automation enables you to schedule and automatically run various jobs/tasks from Micromine Geobank installed on one or more machines on your network.
In the Configuration Manager, select User Interface | Automation | Job Scheduler to open the Job Scheduler.
The following tools are available in the Job Scheduler ribbon.
New

The New button provides the Scheduled Job option which is used to open a new job/task for editing in the Job Scheduler. |
Migrate
|
The Migrate button is used to manually execute the Job Scheduler configuration migration where the Skip Migration option is enabled, or the Do not prompt to migrate... check box is selected. Geobank automatically runs the migration as part of migrating Configuration from the previous Geobank version to the current version, and these options disable that step. |
For information on the Job Scheduler migration process, see:Job Scheduler Migration.

Note: If you close the Job Scheduler with the Close button, any job/task currently being created or edited will not be saved.

Job List
The Job List panel of the Job Scheduler displays information on the currently configured jobs/tasks on your computer.
Name: Displays the name of the job/task.
Description: Displays the description of the job/task.
Status: The current status of the job/task.
Trigger: The configured trigger for the job/task, such as the date and time.
Task: The name of the job/task configured as selected in the Action tab.
Next Run Time: The date and time of the next time the job/task is scheduled.
Last Run Time: The last date and time at which the job/task was triggered.
Disabling and Enabling Jobs
When connected to a computer in the Job Scheduler, any job/task can be disabled by clicking the Enable icon. In the Job List Status Column, the job will show as Disabled and will not be run on its schedule until enabled again.
Note: The trigger for a job/task can also be enabled or disabled when editing a job. Disabling the trigger means the job is not triggered, and therefore will not run on its schedule. However, to avoid confusion, it is recommended that the Enabled flag for the trigger be left as checked, and jobs/tasks enabled or disabled by using only the Enabled toggle in the Job List. If a job does not run as expected, check the trigger flag, as well as the Job Status. Also, check logs and connections.
Sorting, Searching, Grouping and Filtering the Job List
In the Job List, the Data Table Tools can be enabled using the shortcut menu. To do this,
-
Right click on the column headers to open the shortcut menu.

-
Right-click in the header row and select Show Column Chooser from the shortcut menu.
