6.5 Running a job without scheduling
You do not have to add a schedule a job to run it. You can run your jobs directly from the
Job List tab to verify that they work correctly before you schedule them.
To run a job directly:
1. From the Job List, select the job that you want to run and click Run Job.
Figure 6.13 – Running a job directly
2. Select one or more databases on which to run the job. When you select to run a job on a
single database, you can define the user ID that will run the job or use the user ID that is
stored in the database connection for that database. If you schedule a job to run on more
than one database, the job is run on each database by the user ID that is stored in the
database connection for that database.
3. Click OK to run the job on the selected databases. Open the History tab to see the job
status details and the log file for the job.
6.6 Monitoring jobs: Notifications and job history
The jobs managed by the job manager run on the databases that you select when you
attach a schedule or when you run the job directly. You can monitor the status of your jobs
without having to log in to the web console by setting up email notifications for your jobs.
You can also view the historical record for each job from the web console by browsing the
complete job history overview or by accessing the job log files.
