About job services
Overview
A job service is an instance-level component that provides Blueprint users with the ability to execute specific jobs, such as document generation. Blueprint allows Instance Administrators to view the statuses of all job services in the instance. In the event that there is a problem processing jobs, the Instance Administrator can check the status of the job service(s) and troubleshoot accordingly.
The Job Services tab provides the following information about each job service:
-
Service Name
Although it is not recommended, the job service name can be modified in a configuration file.
-
Supported Jobs
A job service can be configured to only allow execution of specific types of jobs. For example, an administrator could configure the job service to only support document generation.
Note: When a job service is configured to only allow certain jobs, any jobs that are not supported by the configuration still appear in the queue after being started.
For a list of jobs that can be configured, see Job types.
