Reading archived jobs into Completed Job Reports

Hi,

We have a tool that lets users flag their completed jobs for cleanup to improve legibility of their Monitor, the jobs get archived and then deleted but this prevents that data appearing in any Farm Statistics for completed jobs.

Are completed reports based on the ‘reports’ > ‘jobs’ > ‘job id assembled here’ data of the repo?

It feels like the only solution would be to just have users filter out completed jobs from their display, but it can make viewing jobs difficult when there’s so much to toggle on or off and they need to reference a previous render.

Hello
I looked at the DB after I tried archiving a job which appears in [Repo]/JobsArchived//archive. Then I deleted the archive manually but I can still see the stats of that job the DB:


Can you try using deadlincommand to fetch the stats see if you can. Here’s how: Scans, History, and Reports - Command Arguments — Deadline 10.3.0.13 documentation

If it appears through deadlinecommand then it means Monitor fetches the data differently

Thanks Zain,

I forgot that on job complete, the job is recorded into completed farm stats instantly (i am sure) and since we are using a comment to flag jobs for cleanup the original completion of the job won’t have our flagged comment as it’s tagged afterwards by the user. I was able to check the Farm Reports for a specific job id after deleting a job from the Monitor, that had been tagged for cleanup and verify it was a match.

Thanks!
