Job Processor–General Tasks

The Job Processor is a separate application that reserves queued jobs and pulls them from the job server to process them. Since the job processor is installed along with the Vault client, any workstation with the Autodesk Vault edition can be used to publish jobs.

Release Availability

The Job Processor is available with certain Vault editions. Refer to the following table to see if your Vault edition supports this feature.

From the Job Processor dialog a user can pause and resume processing, set the vault user account that is used to process jobs, and determine the types of jobs that the Job Processor creates and publishes.

Note: The Job Processor can be configured to launch automatically when the workstation is started in the Job Processor's Administration menu.
