Comments

With altjob conman command, you can make changes to the job definition after it has already been submitted into the plan, while maintaining the original definition in the database. This can also be done from either the Job Stream Graphical View or the job monitoring view of the Dynamic Workload Console.
Note: When you edit the definition of a job in the plan that contains variables, the job runs and completes, but is unable to resolve the variables with their value.

For information about jobinfo, see jobinfo.
