Running a job

If a job is saved with an active scheduling rule, then the job is automatically placed on the schedule to be run according to that rule. Each time the job is run according to the rule, it is run as the current job owner (unless it is a system job, in which case it is run as the System identity).

However, you can also choose to run a job manually. If you run a job manually, the job is added to the Scheduled Jobs list with a start time of now, to be processed according to its job priority settings. The job will be run using your user identity (again, unless it is a system job).

Running a job manually does not impact any scheduled executions of the job as determined by scheduling rules. For example, if a job is scheduled to be run at 10:00 PM tonight, and you run the job manually at 2:00 PM, the job will still be run as scheduled at 10:00 PM.

To manually run a job:

1. In the Scheduler dialog, in the Job tab, click Open.

   The Axiom Explorer dialog opens, showing the Scheduler Jobs Library only.

2. Select the job and then click Open.

   The job opens in the Scheduler dialog. Make sure the job is the active tab in the navigation pane (the most recently opened tab is the active tab by default).

3. In the Job tab of the ribbon, click Run Once.

A confirmation message informs you that the job has been placed on the schedule.

NOTE: When you click Run Once, any unsaved changes to the job are automatically saved. This save will designate you as the job owner (if you are not already the job owner).

You can also run jobs manually using the Scheduler area of the Web Client. For more information, see Running a job manually in the Web Client.
