Overview
The Queued Jobs tool schedules tasks with a long processing time to run in the background. Queued Jobs can be scheduled to start at any time, which can be useful for heavy jobs. These can run at night or off-peak hours to increase server efficiency. Sellercloud can process multiple jobs at the same time. Older jobs will be deleted from the system after some time.
Manage Queued Jobs
Access Queued Jobs
To see all submitted jobs and/or search for a particular one:
- Go to Main Menu > Queued Jobs.

You can also view the jobs that you have submitted from the Dashboard in a panel labeled My Queued Jobs. My Queued Jobs panel shows only the most recent jobs. Click Show all… at the bottom of the My Queued Jobs panel to view all your queued jobs. Clicking a particular Job ID will open Queued Job details page.

Job Actions
You can change a job by performing various actions, like canceling or putting on hold the processing jobs, restarting completed, or changing priority.
- On the Manage Queued Jobs page, check a job (or several jobs).
- The Action Menu icon will appear in the bottom right corner of the page.
- Click this icon and select an action from the menu.
Job Status
You can view the job’s status even if the system has yet to process the job. When it is first queued, it is labeled as Submitted. When it is actively being worked on, its status changes to Processing. If a job has finished processing, it will be marked as Completed.
However, there are other job statuses in Sellercloud. You can see these statuses from the Queued Jobs page.
Job Priority
There are three job priority levels:
- Below normal – the lowest priority level.
- Normal – New jobs automatically get a priority of Normal, but you can manually raise the priority of a job so that it processes earlier.
- High – The priority level of High is the next level up.
- Critical – This is the highest priority. The critical job will be processed right after the current job.
You can edit job priority at any time before the job is complete.
Get Item IDs List
The Item IDs List contains all items affected by a job, such as Orders, Products, and POs. You can access this list by clicking Get IDs List.
Download output files
You have the option to save output files from your queued jobs for your record-keeping files.
- Go to Queued Job page.
- In the General panel, find the Output File field and click the Download Output File icon or click the Download output file link on the top.
View the Change Log
You can see actions related to your job in the Log panel:

Email Job Completion
Emails can be generated upon completion of a queued job and sent to a specified recipient. This can be configured for completed, failed, and canceled service restarted queued jobs.

Settings > Client Settings > General Client Settings > Emails > Enable Queued Job completed emails. - Create separate email templates for completed, failed, and canceled service restarted queued jobs.
- Map the templates in the Email Template Assignment page for completed, failed, and canceled service restarted queued jobs.
Understanding queued jobs
Sellercloud has a system of queued jobs to schedule tasks to be done in the background while you can continue working on the website. Any large data processing task automatically gets queued, and the system checks for new jobs every 1-2 minutes. Queued Jobs can be scheduled to run at any time. This way, you can schedule heavy jobs to run at night or off-peak hours for server efficiency. Sellercloud can process multiple jobs simultaneously, but if many jobs are submitted simultaneously, it will queue the jobs and process the later jobs after the first ones have finished. Please note that jobs are deleted after 10 days.
Job Status
There are various job statuses to track whether the system has processed the job or not. When it is first queued, it gets the status of Submitted, and then it gets the status Processing when it is actively being worked on. You can also filter for queued jobs scheduled for a specific time by selecting the Scheduled value in the Status dropdown field on the Queued Jobs page.
Job Priority
New jobs automatically get a priority of Normal, but you can manually raise the priority of a job to get processed earlier. The priority level of High is the next level up, and Critical is the highest priority. Critical jobs will actually be processed on a separate dedicated thread and started immediately without waiting for other jobs to be completed.
