Overview of a Background Job
DocuShare now provides background processing for select operations; currently deleting user accounts and changing object permissions. Once a logged in administrator deletes a user account or changes the permissions to an object, a message appears at the top of the home page indicating how many background jobs are in progress. The administrator can click the message to display the background job queue. Clicking the background job message displays only those background jobs in queue that were generated by the administrator. Jobs created by individual users are not displayed to the administrator, but the jobs are displayed to the individual users who generated those jobs.
How to view a background job:
NOTE: You must be a DocuShare administrator to perform this solution.
1. A logged in administrator can view all jobs in the background job queue by using the Site Management l Background Job Status page in the Admin UI. An administrator may also edit the background job service properties by going to Services and Components l Background Job.
2. Click the displayed background message to see the background job queue of jobs generated by the administrator.
3. Either allow a background job run to completion or click the icon under Actions to modify a selected job.
NOTE: Currently, the only Action available is Delete the Job; represented by a Trashcan icon. If a job is running, you cannot delete it.
4. Click the Trashcan icon under Actions to stop the selected background job, remove it from the queue, and return that item to its original state.
NOTE: If a job in queue is deleted, the object permissions are not changed and a user account and all objects that are owned by that account are neither deleted nor reassigned.
