Determining job status

Interpreting job status from the Status window

About the Status window

The information in the Status window is used, primarily, by Network Appliance Technical Support. However two lines of information indicate the nature of the assignment and the status and outcome of the job. These lines are easily identified and come at the beginning and the end of the distribution event.

Note
You can copy and paste lines from the status window to the clipboard.

Text at the beginning of the job

You can determine the beginning of a job in the Status window by identifying the following lines.

AssignmentID: 50129 [TaskPublish] ****************************

AssignmentID: 50129 [TaskPublish] ***** ASSIGNMENT START (100)

AssignmentID: 50129 [TaskPublish] ****************************

Informational text about the job

The assignment ID (50129) identifies the assignment and corresponds to the ID number in the Snapshot directory for the job in the Workspace.

The number in the parentheses to the right of ASSIGNMENT START identifies the type of assignment. The value 100 designates the content distribution event. The core application creates numerous assignment types. Some are initiated by the core application itself. Others are user-initiated assignment types. These include the following.

Content distribution event: 100
