Job and Folder File Editing Tool

The Job and Folder File Editor is an XML editor that enables you to move job and folder definitions between configuration environments. The Job and Folder File Editor opens jobs and folder definitions in a standalone Workspace window. You can do the following, as described in Editing jobs and folders in the Job and Folder File Editor Tool:

• Create the XML file: Enables you to load the data from a Workspace into the XML file. If there are conflicts, you can follow on-screen instructions to resolve the conflicts.
• Edit the XML file: Enables you to edit the XML file in an editor that appears as a standalone Workspace window with a yellow background. You can edit, validate, and compare job and folder definitions.
• Save the XML file: Enables you to save the changes to an XML file, and not to the Job Definition Database. In fact, all the functionality related to the Job Definition Database such as Check out, Check in, Export, Import, Load, Unload, and Tools are disabled.

After you have completed editing the XML file in the Job and Folder File Editing Tool, you can import the XML file back to your environment or another environment and resolve conflicts, as described in Importing jobs to a Workspace. If there are errors, you must fix the error in the XML before opening or importing.
