Working With Jobs Queue

The Jobs Queue option is available once you launch the Dell Repository Manager. Jobs Queue is a feature which is added to the Dell Repository Manager to enhance usability. You can control and perform different tasks for various repositories under the same console using this feature. Using this feature the user can perform, monitor, and prioritize different jobs at the same time. The tasks can be performed using the Stop, Start, Remove, and Details tabs.

NOTE: Some of the jobs in the Jobs Queue require the end user to confirm them before it is completed. You can Accept or Reject the job before it goes to the Jobs Queue.
