Jobs in Vault CDMS
In Vault CDMS, a “job” represents a batch operation that Vault performs asynchronously, which can execute on either an ad hoc or regularly recurring basis. Organizations can use Vault’s job scheduling functionality to export data, run large operations (such as amendments) asynchronously, validate data, and more.
Interacting with Jobs
Vault CDMS users can interact with jobs directly from the Review tab and from Tools > EDC Tools, depending on their Study Role.
Typically, clinical research associates (CRAs) and data managers can use a limited subset of jobs from the Review tab, while a lead data manager can run or schedule any type of job from Tools > EDC Tools, in addition to those available in the Review tab.
See the following for details:
Types of Jobs
The following jobs are available with Vault CDMS:

EDC Jobs vs. Vault Jobs
While jobs are a feature of the Vault Platform, jobs specific to Vault CDMS, such as Data Listing and amendment jobs, function differently and are distinct from platform jobs.
Unlike Vault Platform jobs, Vault CDMS jobs cannot be scheduled or run from the Job Scheduler. Available Vault CDMS jobs are listed in the EDC Jobs (edc_jobs__v) picklist and are tracked with the EDC Job (edc_job__v) and EDC Scheduled Job (edc_scheduled_job__v) objects. Vault Platform jobs are not tracked as object records.
Learn more about Vault Platform jobs here.
Audit Logging
Actions that occur as part of a job are included in the Object Record Audit History. They are also tracked within the related object records (such as Casebook for amendment jobs).
Job Monitoring
If any action encounters an error, Vault notifies the job owner (the user who initiated or scheduled the job) via email.
Scheduling
When there are scheduled jobs configured, Vault puts the job into a queue of tasks at the scheduled start time. If Vault is unavailable at that time because of maintenance, a system outage, or too many simultaneous jobs, the job continues trying to run for approximately five (5) hours after the scheduled time. If the job cannot start within that window, Vault skips the instance. If your jobs regularly miss their schedules, contact Veeva Support. You may need to stagger your jobs’ start times or reduce the total number of jobs.
