### 12.4.5. Monitoring Workbench Jobs

You can monitor the progress of a Workbench job on the Jobs/Job Monitor page. The job Status will automatically progress from `Queued` to `Running` when compute resources become available. During execution, EKM is running Workbench in the background and performing the project update, design point update, or design exploration. The Job Monitor displays job details, design point information, and real-time progress of tasks being performed in Workbench.

In this section:

- Monitoring a Workbench Project Update
- Monitoring a Design Point Run

#### 12.4.5.1. Monitoring a Workbench Project Update

You can monitor the progress and details of a Workbench project update on the Jobs/Job Monitor page.

Figure 12.14: Job Details for a Project Update

##### Viewing a Transcript of a Project Update

If you want to view a transcript of the job, select the Transcript tab, or select (More) > Display > Transcript on the toolbar. A transcript provides details about what happened during the update, including any errors that occurred. A sample transcript is shown below.

##### Viewing the Outputs of a Project Update

Once the update is complete you can go to the output folder directly from the Status tab by clicking the output folder name in the Inputs and outputs area.

#### 12.4.5.2. Monitoring a Design Point Run

You can monitor the progress and details of a design point update on the Jobs/Job Monitor page.

Figure 12.16: Job Details for Design Point Run

If you are updating multiple design points and the update for one of the design points fails, the next design point update will begin immediately.

Once the job has been executed, you can view a transcript of the job, or go directly to the folder where outputs were saved.

Note: If you selected the Parallel option when defining the component execution settings, and you cancel the design point run from EKM, the job running on the parallel queue will not be cancelled, and will continue to run until completed. This is particularly important to note if the maximum number of jobs in RSM is limited, as these unwanted jobs are still being accounted for.

##### Reviewing the Transcript After a Design Point Run

Once the design point run has been executed, you can view a transcript of the job. The transcript provides details about the job execution, including any errors that occurred. To view the job transcript, select the Transcript tab in the file list window, or select (More) > Display > Transcript on the toolbar. A sample transcript is shown below.

When you display the Workbench project report after the update is completed you can verify that the Design Points table has been updated with the newly-computed design points that you added.
