Jobs

(Monitoring domain only) Defines how to select the jobs to order., as described in the following options:

  • All Jobs: Enables you to select all jobs.
  • Selected jobs: Enables you to select jobs and folders from a tree view or grid view.

    NOTE: When selecting the grid view you can delete, edit, move and filter the columns as you want. For more information, see Managing columns in the Order Window.

  • Mask: Enables you to filter jobs.

Ignore scheduling criteria

Determines if the job or folder is placed in the active jobs database regardless of the scheduling criteria.

Hold

Determines if the job or folder is put on Hold as it enters the Monitoring domain. This enables you to make changes to a job before it starts running.

Order as independent flow

Determines if a flow in a folder is ordered uniquely. This is only if you are ordering a single folder created in version 8.0.00 and later. A unique suffix is added to every condition name. Not applicable to sub-folders.

See Conditions management.

Current working date

Determines if the job or folder is scheduled on the current working date. The date includes the year.

If you want to select another date, clear this option.

Select a date

Determines if the job or folder is ordered on a selected date (including year).

If you want to select the current working date, clear this option.

Wait for Order Date to run

Determines if the jobs must wait for the defined Order date to run. For example, time zone jobs are ordered before their order date.

Order Into Folder

Determines how to order jobs or Sub Folders that belong to a SMART Folder. Jobs and Sub Folders are added to a SMART Folder according to the following Order Into Folder options:

  • New: insert jobs into a new folder
  • Recent: insert jobs into a recent folder
  • Selected: insert jobs into a selected folder. Use the Folder Order ID field to select.
  • Standalone: insert the jobs into a regular folder. If this option is selected, the Create Duplicate field is disabled.

If the job or Sub Folder is inserted into an existing folder or Sub Folder that has already completed, the status of all parent folders is set to Executing. If it is not possible due to scheduling criteria, the job remains in WAIT_SCHEDULING status. This parameter is ignored if the folder that is ordered is not a SMART Folder.

Create Duplicate

Defines if Jobs and/or Sub Folders with the same name that already exist in the Folder, are added to the SMART folder when you select Recent or Selected.

Set Variables

Determines the ad-hoc variable assignments that you can add, in addition to the ones in the job definition. For more information see Variables.
