Jobs

A job is a succession of tasks, to be launched and potentially scheduled, which orchestrate together the executable files that perform IGA actions.

Anatomy of a Job​

Jobs are used to write sets of successive tasks, and schedule their execution.

See how to configure jobs.

A job can contain tasks explicitly, or contain steps used to call existing tasks in order to use a single task in several jobs.

Execution​

Jobs are executed by agents.

The agent initiates the job and executes the agent-side tasks. Hence, the agent must have access to the relevant managed systems. The agent orders the execution of the server-side tasks, complying with the one-way data flow principle.

A job can be triggered:

  • once manually, through the Job Execution screen;
  • once manually, using Usercube-Invoke-Job.exe;
  • periodically, with Usercube's internal scheduler CronTabExpression;
  • periodically, with an external Scheduler such as Windows Task Scheduler.

Monitoring​

Any job execution is logged into the UJ_JobInstances table.

They can be monitored through the UI, via the Job Execution page.
