Setting Application and Job Properties

You can set properties for the following:

All Applications you define (Application defaults)
For example, you can set up a global email notification that sends an email to an operator when any job in any Application fails.
A specific Application and its jobs (Application properties)
For example, in this tutorial, you selected a default agent in the Application properties. All jobs in the Application run on that agent's computer, unless overridden in the job details. Job details override Application properties.
All jobs of a particular type in a specific Application that run on the same platform (job defaults)
For example, you can set up an email notification that sends an email to an operator whenever a UNIX job in a specific Application fails.
A specific job (job details)
For example, you can specify when a specific job runs (or does not run).

The property that applies to an Application or job depends on where you set the property. Defaults set at certain levels can be overridden by properties set at other levels.

Properties	Description	Overridden by
Application defaults	Properties common to all Applications you define. Specify Application defaults prior to creating a new Application.	Application properties Job defaults Job details
