  • the User Profile page and
  • the Log Settings page, which also includes provides access to the Logs for the JOC Cockpit Logsitself,

as well as the User Log Out.

  • their Details & Preferences,

  • their Event Notification Filter and
  • their Roles and Permissions.

Maximum numbers of Entries

The Maximum Number of Entries settings determine the number of entries that will be read by the JOC Cockpit from the JobScheduler and Reporting database(s) at any one time. They are freely configurable to allow users to avoid slowing down the JOC Cockpit through the downloading of large amounts of data which are hardly ever used.

Maximum numbers of Entries per Page

This parameter is particularly relevant when exporting long lists such as may be required when exporting the history file from an environment with a large number of operations. Setting this parameter temporarily to, for example, 5000, will allow this number of entries covering a longer period to be loaded into the history view, where they can then be exported to an Excel file in a single operation. Loading such a large number of items into a view may take a few minutes and is not generally desirable or required so this parameter would then be reduced after the export has been completed.

The most recent entries are always loaded into the JOC Cockpit.
