Check job files checking-job-files
To monitor file uploads to Adobe Dynamic Media Classic, and files that you publish to Adobe Dynamic Media Classic servers, Adobe Dynamic Media Classic offers the Jobs page. You can review upload and publish jobs on the Jobs page, check the status of jobs, and cancel publishing jobs from this page. You can also schedule upload and publishing jobs.
When you upload assets, a spinning icon appears next to the Jobs menu, indicating a job is in progress, and the number of files in progress. You can select the icon to see more information about the active job.
About the Jobs page about-the-jobs-page
Select Jobs on the Global Navigation bar so the Jobs page opens. By default, jobs are listed starting with the most recent.
Jobs are listed in these categories on the History tab of the Jobs page:
-
Job Type - An icon indicates the job type: Upload and Publish are the most common job types.
-
Job Name - The name of the job. The name includes the user-entered portion of the name and the date and time.
-
Started - When the job started.
-
Total - The number of files transferred.
-
W (warnings) - The number of warnings in the job (if any). Warnings indicate problems with the job that did not affect overall job completion. These warnings can usually be ignored because they report on hidden files. For example,
.DS_store
files (Mac) and Thumbs.db files (Windows®) contain information about how to display image files to users. Warning entries regarding these files, however, can be ignored because they don’t pertain to how these files are used in Adobe Dynamic Media Classic. You can double-click a job name to get detailed information about warnings. -
E (errors) - Lists the number of errors in the job (if any). You can double-click a job name to get detailed information about errors.
-
Duration - How long it took to complete the job.

Status - Shows the status of the job.
-
Destination - For upload jobs, the company name, and folder to which the files were uploaded. This category does not apply to jobs for publishing.

The syntax for describing custom upload and publish time intervals in the Rule box is:

Use an upload or publish job as a trigger using-an-upload-or-publish-job-as-a-trigger
When you upload assets by way of FTP or run a publish job, you can schedule a subsequent job to begin when the upload is complete. (If other jobs are scheduled to begin then, the job you schedule here is queued behind them.) The new job sends a notification to the address that you specify so that code at that location can be triggered. This follow-on upload job is given the same name as the current upload job, but with the prefix _Pub.
To make one upload or publish job trigger another job, select Advanced on the Upload or Publish page. Then enter the URL in the HTTP Notification text field.
