Defining Properties for Single Instance Jobs

When a job is configured as a single instance job (the Allow Multi-Instance option is cleared), you can define a set of predefined instance properties on the Instance Definition tab. Each property follows the format PropertyName=PropertyValue. OpCon passes these properties to the job at run time.

To define properties for a single instance job, complete the following steps:

1. Select Job Master under the Administration topic. The Job Master screen displays.
2. Select the schedule in the Schedule list.
3. Select the job in the Job list.
4. Select the Job Details tab in the Job Properties section.
5. Clear the Allow Multi-Instance option if it is selected.
6. Select Save on the Job Master toolbar.
7. Select the Instance Definition tab.
8. In the Define Property Values field, enter a property definition using the format PropertyName=PropertyValue.
9. Select Add. The property appears in the Instances list.
10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 to add more properties.
11. Select Save on the Job Master toolbar to save the property definitions.
12. Select Close to close the Job Master screen.

Result: The predefined instance properties are saved to the job. OpCon uses these properties when the job runs.

note

The Add button is disabled after one property set is saved in single-instance mode. To define additional named sets of properties, enable the Allow Multi-Instance option on the Job Details tab first. Property names cannot contain the characters = ' ( ) \ , | or end with a trailing space.
