About Jobs and the Search All Jobs Window
Final Cut Server runs jobs for every task it performs. The number of jobs that run
depends on the type of operation being performed. Some examples of jobs include:
 Copying a file from one location to another runs one job.
 Creating a new asset runs jobs to perform the initial copy, create the asset with
metadata, and then create thumbnail, poster frame, and clip proxies.
 Analyzing runs several jobs to create the thumbnail, poster frame, and browse proxies.
Each job also creates multiple log entries for each step of the operation.
If you want to monitor what Final Cut Server is working on, simply open the Search All
Jobs window. In it, you can search for specific jobs and then see a job’s details.
You can set up a subscription that sends you an email whenever a job submitted by
you fails.
Important: Final Cut Server includes a schedule, named Scheduled Maintenance, that
clears the Search All Jobs window once each day. You can modify that schedule as
needed to better fit your needs.
