## 7.11. MAPDL server-mode jobs failing, not showing live monitors, or can’t be paused

When running a batch job using the MAPDL job template, note the following:

- On the Status tab, the job Status will update to Solving only for analysis types that iterate — for example, non-linear static and full transient analysis types. For other analysis types, the Status will remain Connecting to MAPDL until the solution is almost finished.

- To maximize performance, the job Status updates at regular intervals rather than every second. If a job executes very quickly, you may see the status go right from Queued to Finished on the Status tab.

- On Linux queues, when Parallel processing is selected, passwordless SSH access must be set up for each cluster node.

- The job will not run in server mode if the solution is running in a pre-16.1 version of MAPDL on Linux, and Distributed Computing is being used. Live monitoring will not be available, and you will not be able to steer the solution from the Job Monitor.

- Monitors remain displayed in the job view even after a job has been executed, or has failed. They do not remain displayed if you cancel the job.

- The Progress panel is only available if the solver version is 17.0 or later.

- You can only pause MAPDL jobs that involve static or transient analyses. Other types of analyses, such as modal and harmonic, cannot be paused.
