The Job Queue Window
The Job Queue window streamlines the process of working with Analyzer Scripts, which originally were worked on individually and if no other script was being executed. In versions of Enterprise Architect from Release 16.0 onwards, when an Analyzer Script context menu option is executed (for example, 'Build') it is placed in a job queue; multiple jobs can be queued, and other work performed while the jobs are processed.
The name of the Analyzer Script is used as the name of the job. An Analyzer Script can have multiple sections, such as Build, Test, Run and Deploy, and each section is assigned as a task of the job.
The output from each job executed from the Job Queue window is captured to the 'Job History' tab in the System Output window.

The output from each job executed from the Job Queue window is captured to the 'Job History' tab in the System Output window. From there, any job log can be viewed at your discretion, by selecting it from the drop-down list in the toolbar. If the job has failed and there are error messages, you can skip from message to message using the red arrow icons. These icons are disabled if there are no active error messages.
