> ## Creating Jobs and Job Templates

> As you work with Fathom, you will find that you want to perform certain monitoring-related tasks on a regular basis. To help you accomplish this, Fathom enables you to create custom jobs that you run only once or on a recurring basis, as well as job templates that you can reuse when you want to perform the same job over again but possibly on a different set of data.

> Fathom also provides several predefined database-maintenance job templates that you can use to keep your OpenEdge database performing efficiently. For details about these maintenance templates, see the Database Management Guide.

> This chapter describes how to work with jobs and job templates. Specifically, the chapter contains the following sections:

> - Jobs overview
> - Creating a job instance
> - Editing a job
> - Copying a job
> - Deleting a job
> - Running a job immediately
> - Scheduling a job
> - Viewing scheduled jobs
> - Viewing running jobs
> - Viewing job history
> - Viewing database maintenance job instances associated with an individual database
> - Working with job templates
> - Viewing debug details about jobs
