Working with ARM

As a system admin, you can configure settings and leverage ARM functionality. The ARM tab appears in the tab list when you’re in Home mode. The tab isn’t visible in the workspace in which it was installed, and it’s only visible to system admins. To work with ARM, select one of the subtabs. Clicking ARM Jobs takes you to the Job list screen, and clicking Configuration takes you to the ARM Configuration page.

Note: It is recommended that the maximum number of ARM jobs running in parallel must be less or equal to the number of enabled ARM Agents.

This page contains the following content:

  • Errored—the job has been created and was started, then encountered an error.

Job statuses and options

The Job Details pages display different content and options based on the status of each job.

Not Started

For jobs that haven’t yet been run, you can run or cancel the job from the Job Actions section of the console at the right of the screen. Canceling the job stops the job if it is already running, and then removes the job from the job list whether or not it has started running.

Archive job console Run Cancel

When you click Run Job or Cancel Job, a confirmation dialog appears. Click OK to proceed with running or canceling the job.

Processing

For jobs that are currently running, a Progress Bar pane appears at the top of the screen. This pane identifies the stage that the job is currently in along with a visual display of the stages and percent completed.

The stage name displays above the progress bar at the bottom of the pane. The timer to the right of the progress bar indicates the amount of time since that particular stage was started. The Time Elapsed timer at the top right of the pane indicates the amount of time since the job was started.

Processing a Restore job

When running a Restore job, after the Procuro workspace upgrade has been complete the following warning message will display above the Progress Bar pane.

Note: ARM will also send an email notification with the same warning message if you are subscribed to receive them.

This warning message indicates that the archived workspace is available with limited accessibility while the job is still processing.

More job statuses and options

For currently running jobs, you have the option to Pause or Cancel the job from Job Actions section of the console at the right of the screen.

Pause or cancel job

When a job is paused, it will continue to execute tasks and pause it after the stage is completed. Status of the job will change to Pause Requested.

When a job is canceled, it will continue to execute tasks until it reaches a safe spot to cancel. This provides a stable location to continue processing from if you retry the job.

When a job has finished running, a new Job Status pane appears at the top of the Job Details page. This pane displays the status, the Job Id, the Time Elapsed, and the name of the user who submitted the job.

When a job is finished, you can click Download Log on the console to display a report of the job.

For Archive jobs, you can also click Download Missing File List if any of the files in the job were missing. This generates a CSV file listing the missing files.

Errored

When a job encounters an error, you can either retry or cancel the job. In the ARM tool, each stage is broken into a set of tasks. The tool makes note of the tasks that failed during the job so that you can resolve the error and retry the job.
