Monitoring Scheduled Jobs

If you are experiencing performance issues or just want to ensure your system is tuned properly, you can monitor the system jobs that are currently running. These jobs are initiated for scheduled task execution and polling.

This also shows tasks for scheduled child release packages that are executed from parent release packages or deployable release trains.

One use of this information is to identify an issue in polling jobs. Tasks may cause an increased load on an external system if the intervals between polling attempts are too small.

Important: The Release Control Administration options can be performed only by users with Managed Administrator privileges.

To monitor deployment task scheduling:

  1. In your Web browser, enter the URL for Release Control Administration. For example:

    http://serverName/workcenter/tmtrack.dll?shell=swc&StdPage&template=rlm%2fprovideradmin

    Tip: The link for your installation is in SBM Configurator on the Release Control page.
  2. Select Monitoring > Scheduled Jobs.
  3. Click the configuration title to go to that configuration page. The information shown is described in the following table.
    Field Description
    Job Name This is a system-generated name that includes the type of job and a unique number.
    Job Group This is a system-generated name that includes the group in the name and a unique number. Sort by this to view like jobs together.
    Configuration Title This is the title of the plugin configuration in use by the job. Click the link to go to the configuration page.
    Task Title Title of the task that is being executed by this job
    Task Action Action of the task that is being executed by this job
    Task Status Status of the task that is being executed by this job
    Created The date and time the task was created
    Scheduled The date and time the task was scheduled
    Interval
    • For a polling job, this is the polling interval specified in the configuration. Job entries for tasks that have short intervals between polling attempts are highlighted with yellow (less than 60 seconds) or red (less than 15 seconds).
    • For a scheduled task, this is the interval of time before the task will start.
  4. Click the Details icon beside an entry to view more information, including release package, deployable release train, and environment names. From here you can:
    • Click release package, deployable release train, or environment name to go to that item's page.
    • See the Execution Group Name. This is the name generated when a task is executed and that is shown when you select Task Executions in the Deployment Task tab. For example, "Deploy to 2 environments of group QA (3)" or "Retry to 2 environments of group QA (2)". See Checking Deployment Status.
