Jobs

Overview

The Jobs tab allows you to track the status of all the jobs uploaded or workspaces modified in CAM. In the Job’s list, you can click a job’s Description to view specific details about that job’s parameters and processing. Some of the common jobs that can be tracked in this tab are:

  • Create a Workspace

  • Modify a Workspace:

    • Update Matters

    • Add Users & Groups to Workspaces

    • Remove Users from Groups & Workspaces

And many others.

 

Important: Currently, the daily Throttle limit is set to a maximum of 50,000 jobs daily for optimum and error-free performance. The Data Uploader (DU) can hold bulk jobs in the queue for up to 7 days from the job creation date. After 7 days, if they are not processed, the jobs are removed automatically from the queue.

Please Consider: If you have a large number of jobs that you need to run, you could start all jobs at the same time and let the Data uploader work through the backlog. However, this results in poor performance and even failure if the number of jobs is too high. The first few jobs are put into the Running state and the remaining jobs are put into the Queued state. This could make a lot of jobs fail even when they aren’t running and that can negatively impact the other jobs that are running. Please work with your partner or professional services consultant to discuss best practices for managing and queueing jobs.

 

 

Dates in the Jobs tab are displayed in the logged-in user’s timezone. E.g. the document specialist in Chicago logs into CAM and looks at the Jobs tab: the created, submitted, and processed dates are then in the Chicago timezone. All dates in the backend are stored in UTC.

 

Note: In Data Uploader, or SSI or CAM in general, When a provisioning job for a team channel or site is received, CAM creates a separate job for each tab or app in addition to the Team creation or provisioning job. For provisioning users, or groups or workspaces, or folders, there is only one job when bulk updating or creating records from DU or SSI.

E.g. one record will show for Data Upload. Then a record shows the subsequent action of Create Workspace if the job was creating workspaces from DU.
