Group History

The Group History page lists information about the group control job runs and member job runs that occurred on the system. It displays information about the actual start and end times for each job; the job's status (running, completed, terminated, warning message), the agent the job ran on, its group (if it belongs to one or is the group control job), and application. It also provides access to completion history details, job attribute information, and any spooled files.

The Group History page is quite similar to the job Completion History page. The difference is that on the Group History page, the records for a group (the group control job and the member jobs) are displayed together.

Displaying the Group History Page

You can display group history from a number of pages in Robot Schedule. And, you can display it for all jobs or for a specific job.

To display Group History for all jobs: In the Navigation Pane, clicktap Group History under the Robot Schedule menu. If the menu is hidden, hover over the Navigation Pane to expand it.

To display Group History for a single group: ClickTap Show Actions for a group control job on the Groups page. Then, select Job Completion History.

Viewing the Group History Page

Regardless of whether you're viewing history for all of the groups or for a single group, the page functions are the same.

Things to know and do:

• The number of records in the list, the server they're on, and the filter being used is displayed at the top of the page.

• To see the records for a group's member jobs, clicktap Expand by the group name. ClickTap Collapse collapse the member list.

• ClickTap  Refresh to refresh the information in the display.
