About the Job Database Interface

The Job Search area at the top of the Job Database interface allows you to view basic information about a job and to search for specific jobs.

For more information on searching for jobs, see Searching for a Job in the Database.

The following information and options are available:

Job Name	Typically, the Runtime Gateway assigns a name to the job using the model name and the date and time of the execution.
User	For SIMULIA Execution Engine users, the name of the user who submitted the job. For other users, All users is the only option.
Model Name	A text string specified by you or by Isight (see Saving a Model in the Design Gateway).
Job completion status	The state of the model when execution finished. The following status options are available:
	OK	The model executed successfully.
	Failed	The model failed because of some problem with the model itself.
	Cancelled	The model was cancelled by you.
	System Failed	The model failed because of a software system failure. This status can indicate that some part of the infrastructure has become unusable (e.g., a database has gone down), or it can indicate a programming error; report these errors to your system administrator for analysis.
Jobs started on or after and Jobs started on or before	You can specify a date using any of the predefined time periods (e.g., today, last week, etc.) by clicking the corresponding list. You can also click the button to access a calendar that allows you to choose a specific day. Finally, you can use a locally accepted date format. For more details, place your cursor in the corresponding text box and review the information that appears.
Expiration date before	Job expiration dates can be specified for individual models and component execution runs (see Setting the Execution Options). You can specify a date using any of the predefined time periods (e.g., today, last week, etc.) by clicking the corresponding list. You can also click the button to access a calendar that allows you to choose a specific day. Finally, you can use a locally accepted date format. For more details, place your cursor in the corresponding text box and review the information that appears.

By default, the Job List in the middle of the Job Database interface shows several columns that display information about the jobs. You can use the button located to the right of the last column to change which columns are displayed.

The following information is available:

Status	This column displays the execution status of the job using different icons. The following status conditions may be shown:
	Importing	The job is being imported into the SIMULIA Execution Engine database.
	Done – OK	The job completed execution successfully.
	Done – Failed	The job did not complete execution because of an error.
	Done – Cancelled	The job did not complete execution because it was stopped by the user.
	Paused	The job was momentarily halted during execution by the user and is waiting to be restarted.
	Queued	The job is waiting for licenses to become available from the SIMULIA Execution Engine. The log shows the job's queued position. If you are using a Dassault Systèmes license server, the queue position is updated periodically. If you are using a FLEXnet license server, the queue position is updated only when the submitted job depends on the license server currently in use. Once the necessary licenses are available, the job will begin executing automatically. This state is not relevant for jobs executed in Isight’s Standalone mode.
	Running	The job is currently executing.
User	This column displays the name of the user who executed the job, previously executed the job, or imported the job.
Job Name	This column displays the name of the job. By default, the name is created using the model name, the date executed, and the time executed. This default naming scheme can be changed (see Accessing the Job Database Interface).
Model	This column displays the name of the model that corresponds to the job.
Started	This column displays the time that the job started.
Ended	This column displays the time that the job ended. The value is cleared while the job is running and may be cleared if the job was interrupted in an unusual way such as if the Runtime Gateway was closed during execution or if the SIMULIA Execution Engine was shutdown while the job was running.
Duration	This column displays how long the job took to execute (wall clock time).
Job ID	This column displays the system-generated identification number of the job.
Import Date	This column displays the date the job was imported into the database.
Original User	This column displays the name of the user who originally executed the job. This name may be different from the current user if the job was sent to you by another user.
Original Job ID	This column displays the original system-generated identification number of the job. The identification number can differ from the Job ID number if the job was originally executed on one system (within the SIMULIA Execution Engine or local (standalone) computer) and then those job results were imported to the results database of another SIMULIA Execution Engine or local system.
Import Cancelled	This column indicates if an imported job was cancelled before it fully loaded.
Job Size	This column displays the size of the job. The value reflects the total size stored in the database and the total amount in the file system used to store file parameter contents
Expiration	This column displays the expiration date set for the job results storage. See Setting the Execution Options.

The Job Overview tab at the bottom of the Job Database interface displays some of the same information as the columns in the Job List. This tab is useful for viewing large strings of information that are difficult to view in the Job List.

For more information, see Viewing Job Information.

The following information is available: the name of the job, the job ID (which is defined by Isight), the model name, the model version, the name of the user that saved the job, the random seed, the job results expiration date, and the job’s execution status. You can change the results expiration date for this job by clicking the button.

The job ID starts with "LOCAL_" if the job was run using standalone Isight.

The following figure shows an example of the Job Overview tab:

The Job Sizing tab at the bottom of the Job Database interface displays information about the size of the model. The following information is available: the start and end date of the job and the duration (length) of the job. In addition, the size in the database, the size of the managed files, and the total size are shown for the selected model.

For more information, see View Job Size Information.

The following figure shows an example of the Job Sizing tab:

The Run Summary tab at the bottom of the Job Database interface shows the model hierarchy (left side) and a small table (right side). The hierarchy breaks down the jobs in a model based on the components in the model and the model’s structure. It allows you to gain some insight into the structure and size of the model that corresponds to the selected job without having to load it into the Runtime Gateway.

For more information, see View the Run Summary.

The following figure shows an example of the Run Summary tab:

When you select a job on the left side of the tab, the table on the right side displays the following information for the selected job:
