Working with PeopleSoft Jobs

Monitoring PeopleSoft Jobs

PSJob Job Definition

After importing the PSJob, edit each step for runtime data for each child process, such as run control, component, output 
type and format. In order for a PSJob to run successfully, all child processes should share the same run control and 
component.

PSJob Structure Validation

When a PSJob is run, CWA validates the definition against what is currently in PeopleSoft. If a structural difference is 
detected, the PSJob definition was changed in PeopleSoft after it was imported and saved in CWA. The job ends with 
an 

 status, indicating the discrepancy. The PSJob should be re-imported in order to be run.

Copy from PeopleSoft Job Option

Use the 

 option to import a PSJob into CWA as a multi-step job. After the PSJob is 

imported, the 

, 

, 

 and 

 buttons are disabled so that no structural changes can be made to the PSJob.

If the selected PSJob is nested (the copied PSJob has other PSJobs as its child processes), CWA will display the child 
processes with proper indentation in order to illustrate the relationship between them. There is no limit as to how many 
generations there can be in a PSJob family.

Monitoring PeopleSoft Jobs

Note that in the CWA

 

 pane, the 

 column refers to the CWA job number, not the PeopleSoft Process 

Instance. The PeopleSoft Process Instance is displayed in the

 

 column (External ID).

Double-clicking on a job listed in the 

 pane displays the 

 dialog where the operator can examine 

various aspects of the job, both after it has completed and while it is still running.
