The following wildcards are supported in masks:

• * to match any string, for example PPS_MYJ* would match PPS_MYJob and PPS_MYJOBS but not PPS_MYProg.
• ? to match a single character, for example PPS_MYJ?B would match PPS_MYJob and PPS_MYJ0B.

The following actions are available:

Action	Description
Monitor	A reference to the job is created in Redwood Server. The status of the PeopleSoft job can be monitored in the processes monitor of Redwood Server.
Hold	A reference to the job is created in Redwood Server and set to hold. Execution of the job in the PeopleSoft is put on hold until the process in Redwood Server is started.
Ignore	Jobs that match this rule are confirmed in PeopleSoft so they are not checked again, and ignored (no reference to the job is created in Redwood Server).

Note: Jobs that do not match any of the defined rules are skipped.

Tip: You can check all job control rules that use a specific default Queue across all PeopleSoft systems in the Related Objects list of the Queue in question.
