Job state

One of the most importants task of the job list is to show the state of every job. The state shows the current mode of a job

The following modes are possible:

State | Remark
Waiting | The wait to starts (to reach the start time).
Running | Job is im progress.
Pause | Job is stopped. It's possible for a running job as well as waiting job to be in the "Pause" mode.
Edit | The job is edited, that means the settings of the job are changed by the use
Timeout | It wasn't possible to start at the defined start time.

When a job is created and added to the JobQueue, the state of the job is set to "Waiting" or "Pause". The mode "Waiting" is set if the job should wait to reach the start time. If "Submit job on hold" is set in the start window of the job, the mode in JobQueue is set to "Pause" and the job doesn't start
automatically.
If a waiting job reaches the start time, the job starts and the state changes to "Running". After a job is finished, the state changes to "Waiting" with a new start time or the job is removed from the job list. A job is removed or set to the "Waiting" state depending on the settings of the scheduler. When a repeat interval is defined the job returns to the "Waiting" state with a new calculated start time (old start time plus repeat interval).

Not available in the demo version!
The state of a job is set to "Timeout" if the job can't be started at the start time. This happens when the job pauses at the start time or SIEGFRIED BACKUP isn't running. Only jobs without a repeat interval are set to the state "Timeout". A new start time is calculated for Jobs which have a repeat interval.
It's possible to change the settings of an existing job. If a job is edited the state is changed to "Edit". It isn't possible to start a job in the "Edit" state. A job can only be started after the modification of the job is finished or discarded (see chapter "Edit")
