Using jobs for device control

A job is a set of instructions for performing a task on one or more devices. The jobs include discovery, firmware update, inventory refresh for devices, warranty, and so on. You can view the status and details of jobs that are initiated in the devices and its components, on the Jobs page. OpenManage Enterprise has many internal maintenance jobs which are triggered on a set schedule automatically by the appliance. For more information on the 'default' jobs and their schedule, see OpenManage Enterprise default jobs and schedule.
