General Functions > Queued Operations

Some jobs on the MIE are large and can potentially require substantial time to complete. Since the MIE is a web-based application, there is a timeout on how long the browser can go without sending or receiving anything from the server before the session is terminated (by the server). Therefore, such operations cannot be handled in real time via a browser. Jobs that potentially require substantial time to complete are queued.

The following jobs are queued for processing on the server:

Job	Definition
Consolidate	The Asset Management module's job that consolidates staged hardware and software information into the main repository.
Housekeeping	Performs several housekeeping functions (such as trimming log files, checking email, handling triggers and conditions. Also contains the workflow engine.
Import	Import of data from a comma separated value (.csv) file into an MIE data schema.
Disposals	The Asset Management module's job that consolidates staged disposal information into the main disposals tables.

Given proper access, the Active Queue can be viewed from the home page of many options by clicking Active Queue on the left menu. It is also available as one of the Dashboard areas.

Given proper access, a Consolidate or Disposals job may be added to the queue to cause an on-demand Consolidate or Disposals operation to be kicked off. If the Add new record button appears, click it to add a new Consolidate or Disposals job to the queue.

Given proper access, a queued job may be deleted (removed from the queue). When it is removed from the queue, the corresponding job on the server is terminated.

Only jobs in the Submitted or Processing status are visible. Completed jobs may be viewed in the Job Log.
