View target information using the job manager

In a flexible management environment, we can view targets with their version numbers based on the results of the Find option, and view target resources for targets that we select. We can also view the properties and property values for a particular target.

Before we can view information about targets, register at least one target with the job manager.

To display resources for selected targets, your ID must be authorized for the monitor role.

The first time we access the Target collection page, no targets are listed. We must enter parameters for the Find option to obtain a list of targets based on the parameter information that we provide. The next time we select Jobs > Targets, a list of targets are displayed based on the parameters specified on the Find option for this administrative console page. We can then optionally modify the Find option criteria to display a different set of targets. After at least one target is displayed, we can view information about the targets. We can display all targets by setting the string for the target name on the Find option to *.

The Target collection page is in the administrative console for a job manager and for a deployment manager.

Tasks

• Optionally use the Find option to display a set of targets.

  If no targets are displayed, use the Find option to display targets based on the parameter information that you enter.

  1. Click Jobs > Targets

  2. To run the Find operation on specific parameters, specify a valid operator and a text string. Use the asterisk (*) character on the target name, job type, and unique identifier parameters to represent unspecified characters in conjunction with the characters specified. The target Find option has some advanced Find options that we can view by selecting the plus (+) character. We can enter partial search strings for the advanced find options as well.

  3. Click Find.

  The list of targets along with their version number is displayed in the collection table.

• Optionally display resources for selected targets.

  1. Click Jobs > Targets

  2. Select the check box next to targets for which we want to display resources.

  3. Click Display resources.

  4. Choose the type of resources to display.

  The resources are displayed for the targets that we selected.

• Optionally display properties and property values for a particular target by clicking Jobs > Targets > target_name in an administrative console.

Depending on the tasks completed, we might have viewed targets with their version numbers based on the results of the Find option, viewed target resources for targets that we selected, or viewed the properties and property values for a particular target.

What to do next

We can continue to view targets and do other job management tasks such as submit jobs, create target groups for job submission, and view target resources.
