Managing Jobs

Use the Jobs area on the Management tab to view and manage current and past jobs. The Jobs area includes two categories:

Each category contains a list of Current Jobs that are either running or waiting to run and Past Jobs that have finished running.

You can manage three different types of jobs in the HPCA Console:

Types of Jobs
Job Type Description
Notify The HPCA Console tells the target devices to connect to the Configuration Server to perform a certain action. This is a centralized (server-push) method of job management. The HPCA Console uses an internal process engine to manage these types of job.
Distributed Task (DTM) The target devices periodically synchronize themselves with the HPCA Core and receive instructions to perform a particular action according to a specified schedule. You can configure and manage this schedule in the HPCA Console. This is a distributed (client-pull) method of job management, because jobs can run independent of the HPCA Core.
Deployment (RMP) These jobs involve Agent or OS deployment. You can view information about RMP jobs in the HPCA Console, but you cannot modify it. Deployment jobs, like Notify jobs, are managed centrally (server-push).
