Define or Edit Scheduled Job Run Properties

You can edit the properties of scheduled job runs that have statuses of "Cancelled" or "Completed" using the Job Properties page. Otherwise, you can only view job run properties.

Note: If a job is scheduled to run only once, you can only edit its properties prior to the scheduled run time.

To define or edit a scheduled job run's properties

1. Select Reports and Jobs from the Personal menu.

   The Reports: Available Reports page appears.

2. Select the Jobs tab and then the Available Jobs subtab.

   The Jobs: Available Jobs page appears.

3. Click the job type link for the job you want to define or edit.

   The Job Properties page appears.

4. Change the properties as desired in the following sections of the page:

   General

   Edit the name of the job. For scheduled runs, you can change the name to distinguish each instance of a run. For example, Retailing Banking - Monthly Rate Extraction run.

   For submitted scheduled job entries, a read only job ID and status is displayed.

   Parameters

   Set the parameters as desired. The parameters that are displayed vary based on the job you have open. If this section is not displayed, then no parameters were defined by your CA Clarity PPM administrator. Click Save Parameters if you want to save the defined set of parameters for reuse. Saved parameters display in the list on the Jobs: Available Jobs list page below the job type from which it is based.

   When

   Select the Immediately check box to run the job now and the Scheduled check box to schedule the job to run later.

   If you schedule the job to run, do the following:

   • To run the job on a specific date, enter a future start date. Enter the start time in hours and minutes.
   • To run the job at a recurring time, click the Set Recurrence link. Set the recurrence, such as weekly or monthly.

   You can also set the recurrence of a scheduled job by using the UNIX Crontab. To use crontab to set the recurrence, select Use UNIX Crontab Entry Format and enter the schedule. For example:

   0 0 1,15 * *

   means run the job at midnight on the 1st and 15th of every month.

   Note: See Sun Microsystem’s documentation web site for more information on the UNIX Crontab format and special character usage.

   Notify
