The BioPharma Finder application processes jobs in the queue differently for intact mass analysis than it does for peptide mapping analysis, oligonucleotide analysis and top down analysis; that is, it processes jobs in the order in which they were received, rather than the most recent submissions first.

By default, the application processes the jobs in the queue as follows:

  • If the queue is currently empty, it places your new submitted job in the first row of the queue. Unless you pause the queue, the application runs the new job immediately and sets its status to Running. If the queue is paused, the job waits until you resume processing and its status is Submitted.
  • If a job is currently processing in the queue, it places your new submitted job with a Submitted status below all other waiting jobs.
  • If all of the jobs in the queue have already completed processing or are canceled, it places the new submitted job at the bottom of the queue. Unless you pause the queue, the application runs the new job immediately and sets its status to Running. Otherwise, the job waits until you resume processing and its status is Submitted.
  • If no jobs are running because you paused the queue and other jobs are waiting for processing, it places your new job with a Submitted status below all of the waiting jobs.
  • For an experiment using the Batch Processing result format, it processes the first experiment in the batch, and the remaining experiments wait for processing with a Submitted status. When the application completes the first experiment, it continues to process the remaining experiments in the batch in order.

When the application finishes processing the currently running job, the table on the Queue page displays the following changes for this job:

  • The Status column changes to Completed.
  • The Completion Time column displays the date and time when the run finished.
  • The Total Processing Time column displays the total time used to process the experiment.

Once the status displayed in the Status column shows Completed, you can open the results or a report and view the processed data.
