Viewing information in OMIMSSC

You can view all information about the activities initiated in OMIMSSC along with a job's progress status, and its subtask through the Jobs and logs center page. Also, you can filter and view jobs for a particular category. You can view the jobs from the OMIMSSC Admin Portal and OMIMSSC console extension.

  • Admin portal—displays jobs initiated from all OMIMSSC users
  • OMIMSSC console—displays jobs specific to a user and a console

Job names are provided by users or are system generated, and the subtasks are named after the IP address or hostname of the managed server. Expand the subtask to view the activity logs for that job. There are four categories of jobs:

  • Running—displays all the jobs that are currently running, or are in-progress state.
  • History—displays all the jobs run in the past with its job status.
  • Scheduled—displays all the jobs scheduled for a future date and time. Also, you can cancel the scheduled jobs.
  • Generic Logs—displays OMIMSSC Appliance-specific, common log messages that are not specific to a subtask and other activities for every user specifying the user name and console FQDN.
    • Appliance Log Messages—displays all OMIMSSC Appliance-specific log messages such as restarting OMIMSSC Appliance. You can view this category of messages only from the Admin Portal.
    • Generic Log Messages—displays all log messages that are common across jobs that are listed in the Running, History, and the Scheduled tabs. These logs are specific to a console and a user.

      For example, if a firmware update job is in progress for a group of servers, the tab displays the log messages that belongs to creating the Server Update Utility (SUU) repository for that job.

The various states of jobs defined in OMIMSSC Appliance are:

  • Canceled—job has been manually canceled by you, or when OMIMSSC Appliance restarts.
  • Successful—job has been successfully completed.
  • Failed—job is not successful.
  • In Progress—job is running.
  • Scheduled—job has been scheduled for a future time.
    NOTE: If multiple jobs are submitted at the same time to the same server, the jobs fail. Hence, ensure that you schedule the jobs at different times.
  • Waiting—job is in a queue to start running.
  • Recurring Schedule—job recurring after a fixed interval of time.
