About the job types

The jobs that are automatically created by Control Compliance Suite are known as System jobs. The System jobs perform certain predefined functions. Some of the System jobs may be hidden.

The jobs that are created by the user are known as user-defined jobs.

Control Compliance Suite contains the following job types:

Asset import job

The Asset import job imports assets. You can also add assets in the hierarchy through the job, which helps you to manage the assets.

See Importing asset-specific fields from the default data collector.

See Importing asset-specific and common fields using the CSV data collector.

Baseline job

Initially, the Baseline job is the same as the data collection job, as it collects data based on the query. Then a job run of this job is marked as a baseline. You can compare another job run with the job run that is marked as a baseline. Similarly, you can compare two types of assets.

See Creating a baseline job.

Entitlements import job

The Entitlements import job fetches the entitlements for a particular control point.

See Importing the entitlements manually.

Automatic entitlements import job

The Automatic entitlements import job is created during installation. This job fetches the entitlements for the import-required control points.
