Monitoring VMware Jobs

As VMware tasks run as pre-scheduled or event-based jobs, you can monitor the jobs as you would any other type of job in TA using the Job Details dialog. You can also use the Business view to monitor job activity and view when the jobs are active.

To monitor job activity:

1. Select Operations > Job Activity on the Navigation pane to display the Job Activity pane.

2. Right-click job and choose Details from the context menu. The Job Details dialog appears.

   The Status tab appears by default. You can view the status of the job, the start and end time, how long it ran, and how it was scheduled.

3. Click the Output tab to view a task summary.

4. Click the Run Info tab to view the additional details about the job.

5. Click the VMware tab to view the job definition details and the variables that were used when the job was submitted. If the job is not running, you can override the values on the screen.

6. Click OK to close the dialog when you have completed view the job activity details.

   Note: If TA is shut down while a VMware Job is active, or a user disables a VMware connection while a VMware Job using the same connection is active, the Job will enter the Orphan state. This job will continue to execute on the VMware Server and the progress of the job can be monitored through vSphere Client Interface. The Job in Orphan status will not resume once the Master starts up or the connection is established again. This Job will remain in Orphan state.
