Apple Final Cut Server 1.5 - Manual (Page 126)

• Creating a new asset runs jobs to perform the initial copy; create the asset with
metadata; and then create thumbnail, poster frame, and clip proxies.
• Analyzing runs several jobs to create the thumbnail, poster frame, and browse proxies.
Each job also creates multiple log entries for each step of the operation. If you want to
monitor what Final Cut Server is working on, simply open the Search All Jobs window. In
it, you can search for specific jobs and then see a job’s details. You can set up a subscription
that sends you an email whenever a job submitted by you fails.
Important: Final Cut Server includes a schedule, named Scheduled Maintenance, that
clears the Search All Jobs window once each day. You can modify that schedule as needed
to better fit your needs. For more information, see
About Clearing Jobs and Logs from
the Final Cut Server Database .
