Improved status monitoring of batch jobs”

This topic contains multiple features that are planned for the 7.18 minor release, all of them are based on actual customer requests.

In this alpha release, we are presenting these two smaller features:

Show username for in-progress batches

This features adds a new user column for the in-progress batches so you can immediately see who started the job without opening batch job details:

Removal of ended batches

This feature makes it possible to remove ended batches directly from Cockpit:

Improved safety of executing a batch operation on the Batch Operation page

This release adds new safe interaction patterns for the Batch Operation page so that users can avoid the accidental execution of a critical batch operation. The safety improvements include:

  • Displaying the instances table only after a batch operation has been selected.
  • Allowing a user to select either by instance or by query when determining which instances to execute a batch operation on.
    • By instance allows a subset of available instances to be selected, either individually or on a page-by-page basis. The instances table displays checkboxes.
    • By query automatically selects all available instances for a given batch operation and/or search criteria. The instances table does not display checkboxes.
  • Allowing a user to progress to the Confirm step of a batch operation only after they have at least one instance selected.
  • Disabling the Confirm step once a batch operation is executed.
