If you visit an entry in the tree the first time an automatic update of the relevant information will be triggered.
Select the Job Monitoring entry and the client will present you the currently available UNICORE sites. Select one or more Usites and the client will contact the gateways responsible for that site and fetch a list of Vsites. Click on one or more of the Vsites you are interested in; the client will fetch your jobs submitted to that Vsite. Keep in mind that locations that are currently updated are marked with a clock symbol.
Subsequent updates of Vsites and jobs can be achieved by selecting
the entry with the mouse and clicking the "Refresh" button
or selecting "Refresh" from either the context menu (right
mouse click) or the "Job Monitoring" menu.
If the Refresh action takes to much time e.g. due to a poor connection to a site, you may stop the action by pressing the Stop Refresh Button the Job Monitoring tool bar.
The status of jobs is shown by setting the color of the icons representing job groups and tasks. The most important are:
orange: ready to run
blue: queued
magenta: pending because of a dependency
yellow: running
green: finished successfully
red: finished unsuccessfully
A complete list of the job states can be found in "Color codings of job states".
A job is finished when the top level job group is marked as finished. As long as parts of the job are still running (possibly as sub jobs at another Vsite) the top level group will be marked yellow.
Select 'Show Dependencies' in the Job Monitoring menu to get informed about the dependencies of a selected job.
'Show Resources` will provide details about the resources requirements of a selected task.
