Starting 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 should set up a schedule to have the job run automatically.

You can also start a job manually if you have a schedule defined, but you do not want to wait until the job's next scheduled run.

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.

To Manually Start a Job to Run in Full

In the Bentley Automation Service Browser , right-click the job definition and select Start > Full.
A confirmation message window opens, informing you that running the job in full will process all documents in the input set.

Tip: If the orchestration instance for this job has been deleted, you are prompted to select another instance.
Click Yes.
The job starts, and the Job Monitor opens (if it is not already open) to show the job's progress and status.

To Manually Start a Job to Run Incrementally

In the Bentley Automation Service Browser , right-click a job definition and select Start > Incremental.
The job starts, and the Job Monitor opens (if it is not already open) to show the job's progress and status.
