deldefjob

The deldefjob utility deletes specified job processing definitions in the Control-M/EM database. To delete jobs using the deldefjob utility, see Deleting jobs using the deldefjob utility.

When deldefjob is invoked, it processes a specified file of arguments in XML format. This file contains statements that identify existing job processing definitions. The identified definitions are deleted from the Control-M/EM database. For more information, see deldefjob XML file rules.

The deldefjob utility validates the XML rules folder according to the validation process in Control-M/EM version 9.0.19 and above. By adding the switch -vv 2, the utility validates the jobs/folders, which is similar to job/folder validations in Control-M client/Control-M Web. It also validates site standards (includes warnings based on strictness levels), improved error messages descriptions, and updated field names.

NOTE: By default, the utility validates the XML file in accordance with the EmdefValidationVersion system parameter in the CCM (Validation version 2). You can change the value in the CCM without the need to add the switch to the command, which may be preferable if you have many scripts that use a particular validation version.

For an example of the two validation processes see emdef validation service error message example.
