Job and Report Management Overview

In the process of creating and running jobs and reports, your system will accumulate job definitions, job records, log files, and print files. As part of maintaining an efficient system, you should periodically review these records and files and delete any that are unneeded. In addition, you should review the jobs on your system to identify those that have not completed normally so that you can take action to resolve the problem.

Lawson provides several tools to enable you to manage the jobs and the files they create. These tools enable you to work with jobs that encounter problems, review the status of jobs, review all the job definitions on your system, and delete unneeded jobs and print files.
