Viewing Deployment Status and History for Jobs and Schedules
Using the Deployment Manager, you can view status and history information for deployment jobs and
schedules, as well as create and manage them. To open the Deployment Manager window, select Manage
> Deployments.
Jobs and schedules are displayed on separate tabs. However, as jobs are created based on a deployment
schedule, those jobs appear in the regular jobs list. Click the appropriate tab to view the list of jobs or
schedules, where you can see this information:
• Deployment Jobs—The top pane displays a list of the deployment jobs. If you select a job, more
detailed information appears in the lower pane:
–
Summary tab—The Summary tab shows information such as the job status, number of devices
deployed successfully, and number of devices deployed with errors.
–
Details tab—The Details tab shows the status details for each device in the deployment.
–
History tab (Workflow mode only)—The History tab displays transactions that occurred to the
selected job since it was created. Each row in the table shows the action that occurred, the user
who performed the action, the date and time it occurred, and comments, if any, that the user
entered.
• Deployment Schedules—The top pane displays a list of the deployment schedules. If you select a
schedule, more detailed information appears in the lower pane:
–
Summary tab—The Summary tab shows information such as the schedule, the time of the next
job to be created from the schedule, the time a job was last run based on the schedule, the
number of devices included in the schedule and the user ID of the person who last changed the
schedule.
–
Devices tab—The Devices tab shows the list of devices that are included in the schedule.
–
History tab—The History tab shows the state changes and related comments of the schedule.
You can track which user performed each action.
–
Jobs tab—The Jobs tab shows a list of deployment jobs that were created from the schedule and
their statuses. You can also view these jobs on the Deployment Jobs tab.
The status information in the Deployment Manager window refreshes automatically unless you turned
off automatic refresh in the Security Manager Administration Deployment page (Tools > Security
Manager Administration > Deployment). A message below the job or schedule table indicates whether
automatic refresh is on. If it is off, refresh status information by clicking Refresh.
