[Manu269]

Hello All,

We are supporting 1 customer and were asked with following questions associated with Job History Details.

Also we were unable to find much on Documentation Portal.

Hence looking for information here.

1. What are various type of Trigger type and values under Job History Details? we see system/user/Manual Trigger?

2. What does Trigger Type MANUAL_TRIGGER means? Also help us in to understand wat does each mean?

3. How do we come to know if someone has ran the job manually from UI or did it ran on scheduled basis?

Please assist.

Below response:

1. What are various type of Trigger type and values under Job History Details? we see system/user/Manual Trigger?

--> I can see system and user as triggertype in ecmimportjob table

2. What does Trigger Type MANUAL_TRIGGER means? Also help us in to understand wat does each mean?

--> Dont see in my environment. I am on 5.5

3. How do we come to know if someone has ran the job manually from UI or did it ran on scheduled basis?

--> If the triggertype in ecmimportjob is user that means  someone ran the job manually from UI

If the triggertype in ecmimportjob is system that means the job ran as part of scheduled job.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Agree. Someone from Saviynt team can capture the same in the documents.

Thanks

@dgandhi Many thanks for the information.

Anyhow we have few trigger chain job in customer env and what we see that job has failed due to parallel execution.

In the trigger type on UI we see MANUAL_TRIGGER.

Has smething changed on 23.1?

Also can we have above details captured in FD Docs please?

I just extracted the report from our instance which is 23.3.

One difference which I see is :

ApplicationDataImportJob is marked as MANUAL_TRIGGER.

Not sure what does that mean.

[rushikeshvartak]

It must be ran manually while same job was executing for same security system

check 

select * from ecmimportjob

@Manu269 :

MANUAL_TRIGGER is the intermediate trigger created while any TriggerChain or Multithreaded Job is invoked either manually by user or through system as per the schedule.

For a trigger change in history, you will see all executed instances of that trigger chain job. In the same TRIGGER TYPE as USER says invoked by user from UI and system says invoked by schedule.

But each job in the trigger chain job will have TRIGGER TYPE as user in respective job history because trigger chain uses admin user to invoke these jobs internally. In the other details of these jobs history instance you can look for field triggerParentJobId  with a numeric value of the parent trigger chain job to see if this job instance was triggered by a trigger chain job.

The Manual_Trigger is intermitent job and will not be visible if not trigger chain job is stuck.
