Using Job Master
The Job Master editor is the primary place in Enterprise Manager to define and maintain jobs. You access it by selecting Job Master under the Administration topic.
The editor displays a job list on the left and a properties panel on the right. The properties panel contains a set of tabs that expose every aspect of a job's definition.
