The following wildcards are supported in masks:

• ? to match a single character, for example PPS_MYJ?B would match PPS_MYJob and PPS_MYJ0B.

The following actions are available:

Action	Description
Monitor	A reference to the job is created in Redwood Server. The status of the PeopleSoft job can be monitored in the processes monitor of Redwood Server.
Hold	A reference to the job is created in Redwood Server and set to hold. Execution of the job in the PeopleSoft is put on hold until the process in Redwood Server is started.
Ignore	Jobs that match this rule are confirmed in PeopleSoft so they are not checked again, and ignored (no reference to the job is created in Redwood Server).

note

Jobs that do not match any of the defined rules are skipped.
