## About remote jobs

Remote jobs enable you to initiate operations on a remote node where a OpenText Dimensions CM Listener is running, and integrate OpenText Dimensions CM with your own systems and tools.

For details on how to set up remote jobs, see the API reference.

In the Remote Jobs section of the Administration Console, you can:

- View a list of remote jobs.

- Change the status or description of remote jobs.

- Delete remote jobs.

To open Remote Jobs, go to Administration Console > Distributed Development > Remote jobs.

## View and filter remote jobs

You can view the status, general summary, and logs of remote jobs or build commands initiated on OpenText Dimensions CM tertiary network nodes.

The log of a build command contains a brief build summary and details about targets built and preserved in OpenText Dimensions CM. It also includes any messages, warnings, or errors generated during build outputs collection.

Use the filter to narrow down the list of displayed remote jobs.

To view and filter remote jobs:

1. In the Administration Console, go to Distributed Development > Remote jobs.

2. In the navigation pane, select the top-level node to display a list of all remote jobs in the content pane.

3. To filter the job list, click the Filter link at the top right of the content pane. In the Remote Job Filter dialog box, set the filtering criteria and click OK. For details, see Remote Job Filter dialog box.

4. To view the log for a remote job:

   1. In the Remote Jobs navigation pane, select the relevant job.

   2. In the content pane, click the View logs button. The Show Logs dialog box opens, displaying the job results:

      Field | Description
      --- | ---
      Item | The item specification.
      Log Type | The status of the build of the target.
      Log | The text of the log.
