Associating an Object with a Job

On the Set Job page, you can associate an object with a new or existing job. You run jobs to import users with authentication sources, import content with content crawlers, run external operations, and import user information with profile sources.

Before you can run jobs, you must:

Confirm that the BEA ALI Automation Service is running on the Automation Service machine. If it is not running, start it now, as described in Starting the BEA ALI Automation Service.
Register the Automation Service with the portal, as described in Registering Automation Services.
Assign administrative folders to the registered Automation Services, as described in Registering Job Folders to Run Jobs.

Open the object's editor by creating a new object or editing an existing object.
Click the Set Job page.
Associate the object with one or more jobs:
- To run this object with an existing job, click Add Job; then, in the Choose Jobs dialog box, select the jobs you want to add this object to and click OK.
- To create a new job to run this object, click Create Job, then, in the Job Editor, schedule your job and click Finish.
- To remove a job, select the job and click .
  
  To select or clear all of the job check boxes, select or clear the check box to the left of Job Name.
- To edit a job, click the job name.
  
  If you added this object to an existing job, you might want to verify that the job is scheduled to run.
- To change the order in which the jobs are sorted, click Job Name.

Changing the Owner of an ObjectThe owner of an object is displayed on the Set Job page. If you are a portal administrator, you can change the owner.
