Activate/Inactivate data extraction job

Jobs are automated processes that can be set up in CTMS to schedule the execution of various activities, such as data extraction to external servers. Scheduling jobs saves time for manual export and enables regular and timely execution, minimizing risks of human error.

In CTMS, after setting up a new data extraction job, it is activated by default for automated retrieval of data files for reporting, analysis, or integration with other systems. Deactivating it halts this process to prevent unnecessary data pulls, reduce system load, or avoid extracting outdated or incorrect data when it is not required.

To activate or inactivate the data extraction job

  1. In the CTMS application header, select the REPORT tab.

  2. On the page that opens, in the left pane, select Job > Data Extraction.

  3. On the Data Extraction page that opens, next to the job that you want to activate or inactivate, proceed as follows:

    • Activate activate_icon.png: select it to activate the data extraction job. In this case, the data extraction starts running to retrieve the data files if scheduled automatically or executed manually.

    • Inactivate inactivate_icon.png: select it to deactivate the data extraction job. In this case, the data extraction job stops running, becomes idle, and no longer retrieve the data files.
