Job Monitor
The Job Monitor screen displays different job types performed within the console by different job groups. A job is a kind of service, which is related to the notifications started based on schedules set by the Administrator, and the jobs that can be stopped, if required. The jobs are categorized into five groups.
Important: When the PUSH_FEEDBACK_JOB, PUSH_MESSAGES_JOB, and REPORTS_JOB in the Configuration > Job Monitor list view appears as running successfully, only then the system will set the status as PASSED for the Quartz jobs item in the Configuration > Health Check section.
- PUSH_MESSAGES_JOB: The
PUSH_MESSAGES_JOB
runs in every 30 seconds to pick up a batch for messages and processes for Apple, Android, and Windows. - REPORTS_JOB: The
REPORTS_JOB
runs once in every 24 hours at 2 a.m. and populates data for different graphical reports. -
FEEDBACK_JOB: The
FEEDBACK_JOB
runs once in every 24 hours at 1 a.m. to get the status whether a device is unsubscribed from Apple cloud.Note: Only Apple sends FEEDBACK_JOB type message to Volt MX Foundry Engagement Services.
-
CAMPAIGN_JOB: The
CAMPAIGN_JOB
runs at every one hour to send campaign messages to newly added reconciled users. You can change the value in the Administration > General > Scheduler section. -
ARCHIVAL_JOB: The
ARCHIVAL_JOB
runs archiving multiple times per day. It is used to run archive scripts based on time zone. By default, theARCHIVAL_JOB
runs at 03:00 a.m. local time, based on the time zone.
You can modify the ARCH_QUARTZ_CRON_TRIGGER_TIME -D parameter to set a time for archiving.
The following are the sample Cron expressions to run archiving multiple times per day:- Run a Cron job for every 15 minutes : 0 */15 * ? * *
- Run a Cron job for every 6 hours : 0 0 */6 ? * *
- Run a Cron job for every 12 hours : 0 0 */12 ? * *
-
Run a Cron job every day at 3 AM : 0 0 3 * * ? (This is the default occurrence.)
Note: In a Linux System to update the -D parameter, adhere to the following format:
To run a Cron job for every 20 minutes: \"0 "*"/20 "*" ? "*" "*"\"For example, -DARCH_QUARTZ_CRON_TRIGGER_TIME=\"0 "*"/20 "*" ? "*" "*"\"
