Jobs Queue view operations

This section lists the jobs queue view operations in alphabetical order with a brief description.

You can access entity view operations in any of the following ways:

  • Select an operation from the operation toolbar
  • Right-click over the entity grid’s row selection check box
  • Note: This method requires there be at least one row in the entity grid.

Note: Administrators configure which operations are available and the order in which they are displayed based on your role. Only authorized operations are displayed in your operations toolbar.

The Transportation Smartbench (TSB) performs basic validations when an operation is initiated. Front-end validations include testing whether an operation requires row selection or supports multi-row selection. Front-end validation errors display in the form of a dialog box. If a validation message box is displayed, the entire operation is halted, and you must take appropriate corrective action before re-initiating the operation. When configured, the TSB displays a confirmation dialog box giving you a last chance to cancel the action before it is passed to the back-end API for execution.

Comprehensive validations are performed by back-end APIs servicing most TSB operations. The results of operations are summarized in a single message and displayed on the title bar of the Results View. The TSB makes a best effort approach on operations supporting multi-row selection. As a result, some objects in the selection may succeed while others may fail. The summary message in the Results View summarizes the status of the whole operation. The outcome of the operation on individual objects in the selection can be viewed by clicking the message text. This will open the TSB session log to show messages for each object-operation performed since the start of the TSB session.
