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.
