Job Events View

The Job Event View allows you to view job events that have occurred for any configured replication job over a period of time. Successful completion of any piece of a job's replication process (backup, file copy, restore) will be recorded in the event log and any failures will be recorded as a Job Failure.

This view can be activated by clicking on the Job Events menu item from the View menu or by selecting the Job Events radio button just below the Replication Job List table. When this view is activated, the Job Summary Panel is updated with the Job Event table depicted below. If a single replication job was selected then only job events for that replication job will be displayed, otherwise if no jobs were selected then all job events will be displayed.

The job events will automatically be sorted by event date in descending order. However, you can sort the list by any column type by clicking on the column header. You can also obtain more detailed information on any table cell value by mousing over a field which will cause the corresponding tool tip to be displayed. For example to see a summary of a backup job's configuration, place the mouse over the Job Name column. To update the contents of the event list and to see if any additional job events occurred you can click the Refresh button located in the Job Event Toolbar.

Date	Date and time that the event occurred.
Job Name	The Replication Job name the event belongs to.
Action	Replication action being performed: Backup, Copy, Restore
Type	Type of backup file: Full or Incremental
Primary Database	The associated Primary Database name
Target Database	If applicable, the Target Database name being restored or copied to.
File Size	The file size of the backup file associated with the Action that was performed.

By default, only the last 1000 job events will be displayed. You can increase or decrease this quantity by updating the Display Events Spinner at the top right of the Job Events Panel and clicking the Refresh button. The maximum number of events you can display in the Job Event table is 5000. There is a visual indicator at the bottom of the Job Events table that shows the number of events being displayed and the total number of stored job events. If you need to display more job events than 5000, or would like to import all job events into another program, then you can select the Export to File option located in the Job Event Toolbar. Exported job events are stored in a tab delimited format.
