View a Job or Task

Applies To: Windows HPC Server 2008

In HPC Job Manager, you can view job or task properties, states, and results for your jobs at any time. In the job list, you can see limited information about other jobs in the queue, but you must be the submitting user or have administrative rights to view jobs details and tasks.

Viewing job properties and results

In the job list and Detail Pane, you can see information about job and task states and properties, as well the job Activity Log. In the View Job dialog box, you can see information about job details, the list of tasks in the job, the selected resources, the licenses, the results and statistics for the job, and the details and results for failed tasks in the job.

To view a job

1. In the Navigation Pane, click My Jobs.

2. In the job list, right-click the job that you want to view, then click View Job.

3. The View Job dialog box displays job and task properties, states, and results.

Viewing task properties and results

If you do not specify Standard Output and Standard Error files for your task, the results are directed to the Job Scheduler service database and appear as the task’s output fields in the Task Properties dialog box. The database stores up to 4 KB of data per task. Any additional data beyond 4 KB is truncated. If you specify the Standard Output and Standard Error files, the task output is directed to those locations.

To view task properties and results

1. In the Navigation Pane, click My Jobs.

2. In the job list, click the job that you want to view. The Detail Pane displays information about the tasks, job details, and the activity log for the job that you selected.

3. Right-click the task you want to view, then click View Task to display the task properties and the task results.
