  2. Scheduled The type of submission is specified on the Job definition.

Immediate submissions

To submit an inactive or disabled DBMS job to run immediately, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Jobs Activity.
  2. Click the corresponding run button for the job you wish to submit.
  3. Click the Yes button in the confirmation prompt.

Scheduled submissions

A scheduled job will be in a Scheduled state until its scheduled time arrives. A job in this state is not actually running.

To run the job out of schedule or immediately, click the run button. Once successfully completed, the job will resume its schedule.

The executions of a job that were manually started are labeled as Manual run on various pages to distinguish them from the scheduled runs.

To deactivate the job and to stop it from being scheduled, click the stop button.
