Job Manager
In Cisco Crosswork Planning, you can schedule tools and initializers to run as background jobs, also known as asynchronous jobs. These jobs execute in the background on the design engine instances configured during deployment. The Job Manager page provides details of these jobs.
With background jobs, you can
-
set a priority before it is submitted
-
schedule to run at a required time, or
-
cancel before it moves to the Running state
The Job Manager page also provides options to execute jobs using CLI and custom scripts. For details, see Run tools or initializers using CLI and Run external scripts.
