This is pre-release documentation of a preliminary nature and is subject to change at any time without notice. Microsoft cannot guarantee the accuracy of any information provided herein.

This topic describes the options on the Status menu. They let you refresh the status of all currently running jobs, and provide details for all currently running and completed jobs. On the toolbar, click Status to open the Status workspace.

The following tables provide descriptions for the controls in the Status workspace.

Panes

Pane

Description

Job status

Provides a list of all currently running, canceled, failed, or completed schedules. Each currently running or completed schedule is referred to as a job. This workspace uses the terms job and schedule interchangeably.

Use the Show status details for previous option in the Administer > Framework options window to configure the number of jobs shown in this pane.

Status details

Fields

Job status pane

Field

Description

Schedule name

The name of the schedule.

Type

The type of the schedule.

Last run time

The date and the time when this schedule was last run.

Last run result

The result can be Pass, Fail, Running, or Canceled. The Data Management Framework and scheduler service log errors in their respective error log files.

Use the following steps to restart a failed or canceled archive, revert, or restore archive schedule:

  1. Check the schedule details in the Status workspace.

  2. Check the error log files to determine the conditions that caused the error, and fix the error condition.

  3. To restart an archive or restore archive schedule, in the Status workspace > Job status pane, right-click the schedule, and then select Restart schedule. For all other schedules, create a new schedule, and run the schedule.

    NoteNote

    You cannot restart a schedule that failed or was canceled before it started copying the data. If you cannot restart a failed or canceled schedule, you must create a new schedule.

  4. Monitor the schedule you started in the previous step to verify successful completion.

Use the following steps to revert a failed or canceled archive schedule:

  1. Check the schedule details in the Status workspace.

  2. Check the error log files to determine the conditions that caused the error, and fix the error condition.

  3. To revert an archive schedule, in the Status workspace > Job status pane, right-click the schedule, and then select Revert schedule. For all other schedules, create a new schedule, and run the schedule.

    NoteNote

    If you revert a schedule that failed or was canceled before it started copying the data, the Data Management Framework displays a message indicating that there is nothing to revert.

  4. Monitor the schedule you started in the previous step to verify successful completion.

Next schedule

The date and time for the next schedule for a recurring schedule.

Description

The schedule description. By default, the Data Management Framework provides a brief description for the schedule, such as purge data for the selected Purge Object. The description does not provide any information about the rules in the Archive Object or Purge Object.

You can modify the Data Management Framework configuration file to provide the rules and their values in the description. Use the following steps to modify the configuration file:

  1. Using an editing tool such as Notepad, open AXDataManagementTool.exe.Config from the installation folder of the Data Management Framework. The default path of the installation folder is C:\Program Files\Intelligent Data Management Framework for Microsoft Dynamics AX.

  2. Locate the configuration key IncludeRulesInDescription, and change the value to "true" as shown in the following code.

    <add key="IncludeRulesInDescription" value="true" />
    
  3. Save the configuration file, and restart the Data Management Framework.

With the modified configuration file, when you create or update an archive or purge schedule, the schedule description includes all the rules and their values for the selected Purge Object or Archive Object.

The hyperlink is only available when you set the trace level to Verbose. Use the Framework options menu to set the SSIS trace level.
