Viewing and Updating Instance Properties

The Instance Properties panel in Daily Job Definition displays the defined properties for each instance of the 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 Instance Properties

In Admin mode, instance properties can be updated. For conceptual information, refer to Instance Definition in the Concepts online help.

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 Instance Properties panel to expose its content.

Do any of the following to make updates:

a. Edit or delete any existing instance properties if necessary. b. Click the green Add button (+) to define a new instance property by entering the instance property name and value in the appropriate fields. c. Click the Manual Edit button to place the panel in manual edit mode where you can update existing properties and define new instance properties using the following format: PropertyName=PropertyValue. Be sure to separate each definition with a semicolon (;) when in this mode.

Click the Undo button if you wish to undo your changes for any reason.
