Viewing a Job Conflicts report


The Job Conflicts report lists all devices that are in multiple pending jobs, indicating the possibility of conflicting changes or opposing requests. Pending jobs are either waiting for approval or scheduled.

To generate a Job Conflicts report

  1. Open the Job Conflicts report wizard page by navigating to Reports > Status Reports > Job Conflicts.
  2. Enter the following information:

    Field

    Description

    Annotation

    (Optional) Enter notes or a description to help you identify this report when it appears in a list among other reports.

    When Complete, Notify Via Email

    (Optional) Click to request that the system send you a notification email when the report is complete and ready for you to view.

  3. Click Generate to begin the report generation and to display its progress on the Report Activity page.

  1. Click Refresh until the report is completed, or wait until you receive the notification email. If the report is aborted, the Progress column indicates so, to alert you that the report data is partial. You can view the partial report, but be aware it is partial. You should refine your selections (if you asked for too-large a report) or re-generate the report (if it was aborted due to a system shutdown) in order to obtain a complete report. Then delete the aborted report as soon as possible. For more information about the Report Activity page, see Viewing-report-activity.
  2. Click the Job Conflicts link in the Report column to display the report.

  3. Verify the report is complete. If the report was aborted, the title and the Report Generation information in the footer inform you so, and the footer informs you about the user who aborted it. An aborted report will be missing one or more devices and jobs.
  4. Click the Job ID link to view the Job Details and resolve any unexpected or undesirable conflicts (for example, cancel or reject the job to prevent its execution; or re-draft and edit the job to refine the network span).
  5. (Optional) Perform one of the following tasks by using the menu options that are available on the Job Conflicts report page:
