Viewing and Adding Null Job Details

Theme: Configure
Who Is It For? System Administrator, Automation Engineer

Overview​

A Null job has no platform-specific task details. The Task Details panel contains no configurable fields because the Null job type does not run on any agent. The job always finishes with a status of Finished OK as soon as it starts.

You can use a Null job to:

  • Keep a schedule open after all other jobs complete
  • Initialize thresholds at a specific point in a schedule
  • Trigger OpCon events

To view, add, or edit a Null job, you must have the required privileges as defined in Required Privileges.

To view Null job details, complete the following steps:

  1. Go to Library > Master Jobs.
  2. Select a Null job in the list.
  3. Select Edit.
  4. Expand the Task Details panel.

Adding a Null Job​

  1. Go to Library > Master Jobs and select Add. See Adding a Job for steps to complete the general job information.
