Parallel sharing recalculation helps larger organizations to speed up sharing recalculation of each object.
Note You can only monitor background jobs on this page. Contact Salesforce
to abort a background job.
- From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Background Jobs, and then select Background Jobs.
-
Review details of background jobs, which include a percentage
estimate of the recalculation progress.
- The Job Type column shows the background job that’s running, such as Organization-Wide Default Update.
- The Job Sub Type column shows the affected object, such as Account or Opportunity, or the phase of the recalculation process, such as Person Account Access, Associated Portal Account Access, or Parent Account Access.
When the Job's Status is listed as Completed, sometimes additional operations must still finish before the changes are reflected in your organization. Depending on the operation, this process can take significant time.
