Deploy and Run Jobs That the Adapter Setup Wizard Creates

The Adapter Setup wizard provides a convenient way to create the jobs that stage, summarize, and report on the IT resource data that an adapter loads. However, the Adapter Setup wizard does not run the jobs that it creates. You must run the resulting jobs as needed.

Deploying a job enables you to execute the job outside of the SAS IT Resource Management client, such as when scheduling a job to run at a specified time, or when a job might need to be made available as a stored process. SAS IT Resource Management enables you to deploy as well as run jobs. For more information about deploying and running jobs, see Jobs That Process IT Data.

Because the Adapter Setup wizard creates jobs that are separated into individual component jobs, you have the flexibility to modify, deploy, and run them separately if you have updates to only one aspect of the data extraction, transformation, loading, and reporting process.

The jobs that the Adapter Setup wizard creates depend on one another to process the raw data for reporting. For example, the aggregation jobs include aggregations that rely on the staged tables that are generated when the staging job is run. As a result, each job should be run only after the jobs that it depends on have been run. The following list shows the types of jobs that the Adapter Setup wizard creates and the dependencies of each. Each job type in the list is dependent on the job type that precedes it.
