Viewing and Updating Expression Dependencies

The Expression Dependency panel in Daily Job Definition displays any defined expression dependencies related to the selected job.

• The panel can be placed in Full Screen mode by simply clicking the icon () to the far-right side of the panel bar. Escape Full Screen mode by clicking on the icon again.
• When the panel contains defined properties, a blue circular indicator containing a number () will appear to the right of the panel name to indicate the number of properties that have been defined.

Adding or Updating Expression Dependencies

In Admin mode, expression dependencies can be updated. For conceptual information, refer to Property Expressions API Syntax in the Concepts online help. For examples and use cases, refer to the Use Cases section.

note

Only those with the appropriate permissions will have access to the Lock button and can update job properties. For details about privileges, refer to Required Privileges in the Accessing Daily Job Definition topic.

note

Changes made to the job properties in the Daily Job Definition will take place immediately. If the job has already run, the changes will take effect the next time the job runs.

To perform this procedure:

Click on the Processes button at the top-right of the Operations Summary page. The Processes page will display.

Ensure that both the Date and Schedule toggle switches are enabled so that you can make your date and schedule selection, respectively. Each switch will appear green when enabled.

Select the desired date(s) to display the associated schedule(s).

Select one or more schedule(s) in the list.

Select one job in the list. A record of your selection will display in the status bar at the bottom of the page in the form of a breadcrumb trail.

Click on the job record (e.g., 1 job(s)) in the status bar to display the Selection panel.

note

As an alternative, you can right-click on the job selected in the list to display the Selection panel.

Click the Daily Job Definition button at the top-left corner of the panel to access the Daily Job Definition page. By default, this page will be in Read-only mode.

Click the Lock button at the top-right corner to place the page in Admin mode. The button will switch to display a white lock unlocked on a green background when enabled.

note

The Lock button will not be visible to users who do not have the appropriate permissions.

Expand the Expression Dependency panel to expose its content.

Do any of the following to make updates:

a. Edit or delete any existing property expression if necessary. b. Click the green Add button (+) to define a new property expression by entering the expression syntax in the designated field. Each property expression field permits up to 4000 characters. You are allowed to have up to two (2) properties expressions for a job.
