Deleting Jobs

Deleting a job permanently removes it from the master schedule. Before you delete a job, remove any job dependencies that reference it as a predecessor, then use the Remove button on the Job Master toolbar to complete the deletion.

warning

Deletion is permanent. Verify the job is no longer needed before proceeding.

Prerequisites

Your user account must have the Delete Jobs from Master Schedules department function privilege for the department that owns the job.

Remove Job Dependencies

If other jobs depend on the job you want to delete, remove those dependencies first. If you attempt to delete a job that still has dependents, Enterprise Manager displays a Cross Reference Details dialog listing the dependent jobs. You can either cancel and remove the dependencies manually, or select Force Delete to remove the job and its dependency relationships in one operation.

To remove job dependencies before deleting, complete the following steps:

1. Select Job Master under the Administration topic. The Job Master screen opens.
2. Select the schedule in the Schedule list.
3. Select the job in the Job list.
4. Select the Dependencies tab.
5. Confirm the Job Related option is selected in the Dependencies Filters frame.
6. Select the dependency in the Job Dependency list.
7. Select Remove.
8. Select Yes to confirm, or No to cancel.

Repeat steps 6–8 for each dependency to remove.

Result: The dependency is removed from the job record.
