Backups by State
under Job State->Backups backup operations can be viewed historically.
The order of the columns can be changed as needed via Drag&Drop. By selecting a task and clicking the button Properties or by simply double-clicking the task you can view the details of a specific task. An active task can be canceled by selecting it and clicking the button Cancel.
By clicking a column header, e.g. "State" or "Start Time", the column is sorted alphabetically/chronologically. If you right-click a column header a pop-up menu appears:
Here you can set which columns are shown by adjusting the Column Visibility.
These settings are stored in the local Java-profile of the GUI client by default. The jobs (if already implemented) are shown grouped in treetable view (see Task Groups). The button Table View can be used to switch to a simple flat view. After switching this button turns into Treetable View so you can go back to the other view.
Note |
The Control Window all Server is only visible for the SEP sesam Master Sesam. Using this option the System Administrator can select specific Sesam Servers for display and action. |
