HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4Modifying job instances in the plan to control job processing
Even after your jobs have been submitted into the current plan, you still have opportunities to modify them without having to go back to the original job definition in the database. When modifying a job instance, you can change the definition if the job has not yet started to run, or you can change the definition of a job that has already run and rerun it with the new definition. For example, you can update a command or script, rerun a job with a different logon name or priority, or edit connection server details. Whatever the change, this is a quick and easy way to react and recover.
To modify the job definition of a job instance that has not yet run, perform the following steps:
- From Monitor Workload, run a query on your jobs.
- From the resulting list of jobs, select a job that has not yet run and click .
- Modify the job definition then click OK to save the changes. To restore original definition, click Reload.
To rerun a job with a different definition, perform the following steps:
- From Monitor Workload, run a query on your jobs.
- From the resulting list of jobs, select a job that has already run and then click .
- From the Rerun Job dialog, select Edit Job and then click Edit Job.
- Modify the job definition then click OK to save the changes. To restore original definition, click Reload.
- Click Rerun to rerun the job with the modified definition.
