Launching a Procedure using an Existing Saved Procedure

Procedures that are used repeatedly can be saved along with the properties file, job grants, schedules, and notifications, and so on with a unique name. This specially packaged procedure can be run using the unique name whenever required. This is especially useful when the procedure must be executed multiple number of times, and helps in saving a lot of time and effort. Running the verb emcli get_procedures fetches all the procedures which also include the Procedure Configurations.

1. Run the verb emcli get_procedures to fetch an existing Procedure Configuration file.
2. Update the properties file if required.
3. Save the Procedure Configuration with the updated Properties file, and the other attributes like job grants, schedules, and notifications. To do so, see Saving a Procedure Configuration of a Procedure.

   Note:

   You can update the Procedure Configuration using the update_procedure_input verb as described in Updating the Procedure Configuration of a ProcedureAfter Updating the Procedure Configuration, follow Step 4 to resubmit the procedure.

5. Verify the status of the procedure.
