The execution status of patch application, patch distribution, parameter settings, or script execution, can be checked in the following ways:
Task management
Use this method to check the execution status of patch application, patch distribution, parameter settings, or script execution jobs requested to Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager by a tenant administrator or a tenant user. The task management function can be used from the management console.
Job management
Use this method to check the execution status of all patch application, patch distribution, parameter settings, or script execution jobs being executed on Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager by an infrastructure administrator or a dual-role administrator. The job management function is accessible via commands.
Task management
In patch application, patch distribution, parameter setting or script execution, a task refers to an operation assigned to a person in charge when the status of a process (activity) changes, indicating that it requires a decision by that person. Task management enables the user to take action when a decision from that user is required, such as when an error occurs.
Task management can be performed from the management console (refer to "Task Management" in the Operator's Guide for details).
Job management
A job refers to an operation requested to Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager. Operations such as patch application, patch distribution, parameter setting, and script execution are executed as a series of jobs. Managing these operations as jobs enables visualization of the process execution status and facilitates confirmation of the progress status. If a decision from the user is required, such as when an error occurs in a job, the user can take the required action, such as retrying or canceling. Use swcfmg_job (Job Information Management command) to perform job management (refer to "swcfmg_job (Job Information Management Command)" in the Reference Guide for details).
