Default view:

By default, the displayed jobs are:

  • jobs that you have run. See "Job Tabs" below.

  • from the last 180 days are displayed. You can change this filter as needed. See "Filter Jobs" below.

Job Tabs:

  • Run by me: Jobs that you have initiated for the filtered time period are listed here.

  • All jobs: All jobs that were initiated for assets that you own are listed here. For example, if a collaborator has run a job on an asset that you own, you can review its status here.

Columns:

  • Job: Internal identifier for the job. This value is unique for all jobs in your Alteryx instance.

    • Click the ID number to explore details about the job.

  • User: The Alteryx user that initiated the job.

  • Run from:

    • Location where the job was launched. Click the link to view details.

  • Status:

    • See Tabs above.

  • Started: Start timestamp for the job.

    • Scheduled jobs are indicated with an icon.

Actions:

Job Types

提示

To review the status of individual jobs within a jobgroup, hover over the icons in the Status column for the jobgroup.

  • Pre-ingest SQL: These jobs are SQL scripts that execute before the source data is ingested to the platform.

    • For additional details on these jobs, see the SQL scripts tab in the Job Details page. See Job Details Page.

  • Transform: These jobs perform transformations on imported datasets based on the transformations from which the job was launched.

  • Profile: If enabled as part of the job definition, a Profile job generates a visual summary of the results of your transform job.

    • Profiling jobs may take longer than transform jobs.

    • Even when selected, profiling jobs may not appear in the Job History page. In some cases, a profiling job may be folded into a transform job for optimization reasons.

      注意

      When the profiling job is run as part of the transform job, there is no listing for profiling in the mouse-over popup.

    • See Job Details Page.

  • Publish: Depending on multiple factors, your job may include a second Publish job that occurs after the transform job. For example, job groups can include internal Publish jobs for writing results to the designated location in the base storage layer.

    Publishing can also be executed as a separate, post-execution job. As needed, job results can be published from their target location to another location or data store. These jobs are tracked separately as Publish jobs and can be launched from the Job Details page.

  • Ingest: For larger datasets from some relational connections, the platform transfers the data from the source to the default storage layer for faster processing. These ingest jobs occur before any transform or profiling takes place.

  • Post-ingest SQL: These jobs are SQL scripts that execute after the job results have been published.

    • For additional details on these jobs, see the SQL scripts tab in the Job Details page. See Job Details Page.

Job Status

In the Status dropdown, each option corresponds to a possible status for jobs that have been initiated on the platform.

  • All jobs: All jobs that you have initiated or were run on assets that you own.

  • Completed: Job has successfully executed.

  • Failed: job failed to complete.

  • Publish Failed: Some failed jobs may be listed under this status, which means that the publishing step of the configured job failed to complete.

  • Canceled: Job was canceled.

  • Running: Job is in progress.

  • Queued: Job has been queued for execution.

Filter Jobs

To filter the list of jobs based on dates or source of execution, click the Funnel icon. You can use the following dialog to filter the display of jobs.
