Running Jobs Manually

Once you create a job definition, you should start the job manually and run the job in full at least once, to make sure you are getting the expected results. Once you are satisfied with the results, you can set up the job to run automatically, either by schedule or frequency.

To run a job manually:

Right-click a job in the Bentley iCS for PDF Browser and select:
- Start > Full
  or
- Start > Incremental
If you selected to run the job in full, click Yes in the confirmation window that opens. The confirmation window lets you know that running the job in full will delete all current history for the job and also regenerate all renditions.

The job starts, and the Job Monitor opens (if it is not already open) to show the job's progress and status.

Tip: The first time you run any job, that job will always run in full, whether you select to run it in full or incrementally. This is because none of the documents in the input set have been processed yet.

Tip: You can always start a job manually, even if the job is set up to run automatically. For example, you can start the job manually if you do not want to wait until the next scheduled run of the job.
