Manage jobs

When the AODocs server needs to perform an action that needs a lot of processing resources, AODocs creates a job to break it down into multiple tasks.

Examples of actions that trigger a job:
– Import files into AODocs
– Move a file from one folder to another
– Change the security of a library
– Check ownership and fixing permissions
– Export files to another library or out of AODocs
– Delete a folder

View progress of an individual job in the user interface

When a user action triggers a job, a progress bar is displayed in the user interface. As a user, you can select View more details to monitor the number of tasks being executed and their status.

Note: Certain types of job can't be triggered at the same time on the same items. For example, you can't move a folder structure while some of its subfolders are being deleted.

For many administrator actions, the Job status page is available via a link when the job triggered by your action takes more than a few seconds to complete.

  • How to cancel a job?
    It seems the cancel job button is not available even I'm the administrator of a secured library

  • Canceling job is not available as this might create inconsistencies in the database. We recommend you to allow the job to finish (depending on the size of the job it can take time) and perform the reversed action afterwards.
