Job Queue for Certification

Pimics can periodically run reports to ease the certification process by automating it.
To do so, a Job Queue must be created and defined. It can be set up for items and groups.

Prerequisites

To automate this process, several steps must be completed to ensure success.

  1. In Catalog Setup, define how Pimics will behave in the absence of a checklist on an entity: a. Always certify, b. Fail, c. Use the default checklist.
  2. Create and assign a checklist to items/categories where the default setting or checklist is insufficient.
  3. If certain channels have different needs, assign channel-specific checklists.

Create Job Queue

  1. Search for Job Queue Entries.
  2. Click New.
  3. In Object ID to Run, search for Certify Items or table number 70113730.
  4. In Maximal number of attempts, fill in the number of times the system will try to finish the job.
  5. In Rerun Delay, fill in the number of seconds for Pimics to wait before it starts the job again after a failed attempt.
  6. Choose Earliest Start Date/Time to set the earliest date when the job will be executed.
  7. Choose Expiration Date/Time to set the date after which the job will no longer execute.
  8. Set Job Timeout to specify the maximum amount of time the job is allowed to run.
    Note

    Specify time unit properly

  9. In Recurrence, specify if you wish the job to run periodically on certain days.
  10. Fill in Starting time to set the earliest hour of the day the job can start.
  11. Fill in Ending Time to set the latest hour of the day the job can start.
