Setting job completion notice properties
In Management Console, a user or the administrator sets job completion notice properties in the following locations:
On Users
—Properties
—Jobs, a user or the administrator specifies whether to notify a user about a completed job by sending a job completion notice to the user’s personal channel, as shown in
Figure 5‑33. Selecting Place a job completion notice in the user’s Personal Channel enables the following options, which support setting the policy for deleting job completion notices from the user’s personal channel:
Delete notice according to volume settings
iHub deletes the notice after the time that the job completion notice deletion policy for the volume specifies.
Delete notice after
n days
n hours
iHub deletes the notice after the number of days and hours you specify.
Do not automatically delete notice
iHub does not delete the notice from the user’s personal channel.
Figure 5‑33 Setting completion notice properties on Users—Properties—Jobs
On Volume-Properties-Archiving and Purging, the administrator sets the job completion notice deletion policy for the volume by selecting Purge success notices after
n days
n hours, or Purge failure notices after
n days
n hours, or both properties, then specifying the days and hours, as shown in
Figure 5‑34. iHub does not purge notices if you specify 0 days 0 hours or if you do not select the property.
Figure 5‑34 Volume—Properties—Archiving and Purging
As shown in
Figure 5‑35, after logging in to Configuration Console and choosing Advanced view, the administrator can set the job completion notice expiration properties by choosing Volumes—Properties—Advanced—Archiving and Purging.
Figure 5‑35 Setting properties on Archiving and Purging in Configuration Console
The following job completion notice expiration properties are available:
Expiration time of failed and successful jobs
When no job completion notice for a particular job exists on any personal channel, iHub deletes the notice for that job from Jobs—Completed after the notice reaches this age.
Default expiration time of failure and success notices
The default value for the volume specifying the age that a job completion notice must reach before iHub can delete the notice from a user’s personal channel. These are the same two properties as Purge success and Purge failure notices after n days n hours, in Management Console, Volume—Properties—Archiving and Purging. Setting these properties in one console sets the properties in the other console.
The default time for Expiration time of failed and successful jobs is 43200 minutes, or 30 days. The default time for Default expiration time of failure and success notices is 0 minutes.
In notifying another user when scheduling a job, if a user chooses Schedule—Notification, then selects Override user preferences and Create completion notices in user’s personal channel, iHub deletes the notice according to the notified user’s existing deletion policy.
iHub deletes job completion notices from a user’s personal channel and from Jobs—Completed at the time the Encyclopedia volume general property Schedule for purging notices specifies, as shown in
Figure 5‑36. By default, this time is 2:15 a.m.

iHub deletes a job completion notice from a user’s personal channel according to the deletion policy in effect when iHub ran the job. A user typically views a document and a job completion notice in Information Console. iHub cannot delete the job completion notice from Jobs—Completed in Management Console while the notice exists in a user’s personal channel.
For example, if the user deletion policy is Delete notice after 2 days 0 hours, iHub deletes the notice from the user’s channel after the time period expires. If another user deletion policy for the same job is 3 days 0 hours, iHub deletes that notice after that time period expires. iHub does not delete the notice from Jobs—Completed until all these personal channel job notices are deleted.
If the deletion policy for a user is Do not automatically delete, iHub does not delete the notice from the user’s personal channel or from Jobs—Completed. iHub deletes the notice from Jobs—Completed after the user deletes the notice from the user’s personal channel. If no personal channel contains a notice, iHub deletes the Jobs—Completed notice after the time specified by Expiration time of jobs of this type expires.
