Deleting jobs using the deldefjob utility

This procedure describes how to delete specified job processing definitions in the Control-M/EM database by using the deldefjob utility.

To delete jobs using the deldefjob utility:

1. Do one of the following:
   • UNIX: Log on to a Control-M/EM account.
   • Windows: Open a command prompt window where Control-M/EM is installed. You do not need to be in the Control-M/EM database directory.

     NOTE: For Windows client installations, open a command prompt window and navigate to the <EM Instance Name>\bin directory.

2. Enter either of the following commands:
   • emdef deldefjob [-USERNAME <user> [-PASSWORD <password>] | -PASSWORD_FILE <password file>] -HOST <GUI Server Name> -ARG_FILE <XML file name> [/a]
   • emdef deldefjob [-u <user> [-p <password>] | -pf <password file>] -s <GUI Server Name> -arg <XML file name> [/a]

   NOTE: For Windows, you do not need to use the emdef prefix.

   For details about the deldefjob parameters and switches, see emdef general parameters and emdef switches.
