About using the Hierarchical View for monitoring jobs

This view is displayed when you select Monitor > Jobs and then select Hierarchical View from the drop-down list. The data that is shown in this view is based on the current View pane and time frame selection. Data for the last 24 hours is shown by default. You can also view data for the last 48 hours or 72 hours.

Note:

You can only view jobs data for the last 30 days from the Hierarchical View.

See Controlling the scope of Monitor views.

In the Hierarchical View, all related jobs can be grouped and you can see all parent-child jobs in a hierarchical fashion. You can view details of only the top level, parent job in this view with the ability to expand and drill into the details of child jobs if there are failures.

The Hierarchical View shows details of all jobs and also highlights the parent-child relationship between jobs wherever applicable. All parent jobs have a +sign before the job ID. You can click the + sign to see all child jobs. A child job is indented to the right-hand side in the Job ID column. If some of the child jobs are parent jobs, then + sign also appears before the job ID of the child job. However, if a job does not have a relationship with any other job (it is neither a parent nor a child job), it is represented only by its job ID in the Job ID column. Neither is there a + sign before the job ID of such a job nor this job is indented to the right-hand side.

Note the following things about the related jobs that are shown in the Hierarchical View:

The filters are applied only to parent jobs. The filters are not applied to child jobs. For example, if you apply the Partially Successful Jobs filter, child jobs are not considered at all. Only parent jobs or unrelated jobs (jobs that are not related to any other job) with partially successful status are considered.
The sorting feature in the Hierarchical View applies to both parent jobs and child jobs. When you expand a parent job, the current selected sort order is applied to child jobs.
All tasks that apply to the parent job are also applicable to its child jobs.

The following tasks can be performed from the Hierarchical View:
