Deleting Named Schedule Instance Exceptions

Named Schedule Instance Exceptions consist of job patterns and exception rules. A job pattern determines which jobs the exception rules apply to (wildcard support). Deleting a job pattern also removes all exception rules associated with it. Deleting an individual exception rule removes only that rule while leaving the job pattern intact.

Delete a Job Pattern​

Deleting a job pattern permanently removes it and all associated exception rules from the named schedule instance.

To delete a job pattern, complete the following steps:

  1. Select Schedule Master under the Administration topic.
  2. Select the schedule in the Schedule Selection list.
  3. Select the Instance Definition tab in the Schedule Details frame.
  4. Select the instance name associated with the job pattern you want to delete.
  5. Select the job pattern you want to delete in the Job Patterns list.
  6. Select Remove.
  7. Select Green circle with white checkmark inside Save on the Schedule Master toolbar.
  8. Select Close ☒ to close Schedule Master.

Result: The job pattern and all exception rules associated with it are permanently removed from the named schedule instance.

Delete an Exception Rule​

To delete an exception rule, complete the following steps:

  1. Select Schedule Master under the Administration topic.
  2. Select the schedule in the Schedule Selection list.
  3. Select the Instance Definition tab in the Schedule Details frame.
  4. Select the instance name associated with the exception rule you want to delete.
  5. Select the Exceptions tab in the Instance Details frame.
  6. Select the job pattern associated with the exception rule you want to delete.
  7. Select the exception rule you want to delete in the Exception Rules table.
  8. Select Remove.
  9. Select Green circle with white checkmark inside Save on the Schedule Master toolbar.
  10. Select Close ☒ to close Schedule Master.

Result: The exception rule is permanently removed. The job pattern and any remaining exception rules associated with it are unaffected.

  • Deleting a named schedule instance exceptions record is permanent. Verify the record is no longer needed before proceeding.
  • You can only delete one exception rule at a time. To remove all exception rules for a job pattern at once, delete the job pattern instead.
