Edit Job Definitions

You can only edit certain fields in predefined job definitions, as some of the fields are read only. However, you can edit all aspects of job definitions that are not predefined.

Editing Job Definitions

Follow these steps:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Manage Enterprise Scheduler Job Definitions and Job Sets task in the Application Extensions functional area. Or, depending on your offering, you might use a different functional area.

   Note: If you don't see the task, make sure that the Enterprise Scheduler Job Definitions and Job Sets feature is enabled at the offering level.

2. On the Manage Enterprise Scheduler Job Definitions and Job Sets page, open the Manage Job Definitions tab.

3. Select the job definition you want to edit.

4. Click Edit.

5. Make the changes that you want, for example:

   • You can edit the display name of the job definition to use terms that are more familiar to your users.

   • You can use the Prompt field to edit parameter display names.

6. Click Save and Close.

Predefined Job Definitions

You cannot update parameters in predefined job definitions, but this table lists some of the other fields that you can edit.

Field	Description
Retries	The number of times to automatically run this job again if the scheduled process fails.
Job Category	Specific to the application of the job definition, it's used to group definitions according to your requirements.
Timeout Period	The amount of time before stopping a scheduled process that couldn't complete.
Priority	Priority of scheduled processes submitted, with 0 as lowest. If other processes, based on the same or another job, are scheduled to run at the same time, then priority determines the run order.
