Working with Running Jobs

You can use the WebDashboard to view job information, including the current status of a job, and to control the execution of jobs that are executing on the SIMULIA Execution Engine.

Before you begin: This information is available only if you have administrative privileges.
  1. On the left side of the WebDashboard interface, click the Jobs option.

    The Job details appear.

  2. (optional) Click the Refresh button on the left side of the interface to verify that you are viewing the most up-to-date information.

    Note: The information is automatically refreshed after a set period of time (which can be determined by viewing the progress bar adjacent to the Refresh button).

  3. Click a job in the list near the top of the interface.

    The list at the bottom of the interface is populated with workitems related to the selected job. It does not show completed or pending workitems.

  4. If any workitems are listed, you can view the details of a workitem by clicking the Workitem ID column. You can also cancel a workitem (for example, a workitem taking too long to finish or one that appears unable to finish) by selecting the workitem row and clicking Stop Selected Workitem.
  5. Click any job name in the station list at the top of the interface to display a screen showing more job details.

    The job list contains the following columns:

    DescriptionA short description of the job, as specified in the Runtime Gateway Job Name field.
    Model NameThe name of the model selected for this job.
    UserThe login ID of the user that started the job.
    StartedThe date/time that the job was started.
    DurationThe amount of time that the job has been running (as of the last refresh).

    The workitem list contains the following columns:

    Workitem IDA unique ID that identifies a workitem that is currently running as part of the selected job.
    Station NameThe name of the station running the workitem.
    Component TypeThe type of component that this workitem represents.
    DispatchedThe date/time that the workitem started running on the station.
    DurationThe amount of time that the workitem has been running (as of the last refresh).

  6. If desired, you can control running jobs by using the following options:

    • Stop. This option allows you permanently halt a running job.

    • Pause/Resume. This option allows you to temporarily stop and then restart a job.
