Managing Submitted Jobs

See details on Nexus Jobs here.

As all jobs are contained within a project, job management is done from the top level view inside a project. Clicking on the three-dots menu on a job will reveal the job management options. From here you can retry or cancel jobs.

You can also select multiple jobs using the check-boxes at the start of each job row, and then use the “Retry Jobs” or “Cancel Jobs” buttons that appear at the top of the table.

Options to retry jobs

There are multiple options for retrying jobs in the Nexus user interface: simply select the “Retry Job” option in the three-dots menu of the corresponding job. Options include the ability to retry certain Job item statuses, or to fully resubmit the job. Please note that some of these options may result in consumption of quotas or duplicated submissions, so please be careful and double check the option is appropriate for the state of your workflow.

Cancel a running job

Jobs in the running state can be cancelled, cancelling a job attempts to stop it ASAP, but there’s no guarantee that cancelling a job will stop it executing in the event that it’s already started. Cancellation works differently depending on the state of the job item:

• Job items in a final state (Error, Completed or Cancelled) cannot be cancelled

• Job items which are in a queuing state local to Nexus will be stopped from entering a running state

• Compile job items which have already started will not be interrupted

• Process job items which have already been submitted to a remote backend will be sent a cancellation request, exactly how it is handled upon reciept will vary by remote backend
