Job Manager

[mawheatley]

Can anyone help me? I want to use the Job Manager for synchronizing two databases. I go through the wizard, check the Save Options box and choose where the job file should be saved. I can see the job file get saved as an XML file. I can open the XML file and it all looks good. However, next time I open WebYOG I click Powertools -> Job Manager and the job is not in there. All it says is “To create a job use the respective job wizards” which is exactly what I did. What do I have to do to make the job appear in the Job Manager? Thank you if anyone can help me.

The 'job manager' will only record jobs that have been scheduled (it reads its information from the Windows Scheduler).  Saving a job/XML-file does not add anything to the job manger (it does not operate its own data storage but is only a 'filter' on top of the Windows Scheduler). 

Am I correct that this is the issue or did I misunderstand? If so you are not the first person being confused about this and it also is a very old (and you could say rather primitive) implementation.

Thank you Peter – when I scheduled as well as just saving the job it worked perfectly. Now I can look at the Job Manager and click Execute now without needing to enter all those parameters each time. (And of course it's set to do it automatically everyday now too!)

Thank you again.
