Overview
The Launch History tab shows all of the operations (referred to as "Jobs") performed on your account. Each Job corresponds to a single operation (for example, Launch cutover instance, Launch test instance, etc.) Each Job is composed of one or more servers. The main Launch History view allows you to easily identify all key Job parameters, including:
-
Job ID – The unique ID of the Job.
-
Job type – The type of Job (Launch or Terminate)
-
Initiated by – The command or action that initiated the job (for example, Launch cutover instances or Terminate launched instances)
-
Status – The status of the Job (Pending, Completed, or Started)
-
Servers – The number of servers that are included in the Job.
-
Start time – The time the job was started.
-
Completed time – The time the Job was completed (blank if the job was not completed).
You can sort the launch history by any column by clicking the column header. (for example, sorting by Job ID).
You can search for specific Jobs by any of the available fields within the Find launch history by property or value search bar.
Example: Filtered search for the value "cutover", only showing Jobs that mention cutover.

Use this section to troubleshoot any potential issues and determine in which step of the launch process they occurred.
Use the Filter job log by property or value search bar to filter the job log.
You can filter by a variety of properties, including Time, Event, Source server Id, Source server hostname, Conversion server instance IS, Test/cutover instance ID, and Error.
You can filter by multiple values at once. (for example, Job log filtered by Event: Failed to take snapshot and a specific Source server Id: 7).

Jobs – Source servers
The Source servers section shows a list of all source servers involved in the job and their status.
