Jobs are generated when you perform an action through the browser interface or when the server system performs a process. Some jobs are generated and completed so quickly that the jobs might not be visible in the Jobs table.
All jobs in the browser interface, with the exception of the File System Check job, are generated only if the current server has the SUNWsamfsr and SUNWsamfsu packages installed locally.
The following table describes the different types of jobs.
