refresh or print the log file. Select
OK to return to the Job Browser. (This

Copying Jobs
Copying a job consists of making the target and software selections
available to a new session of swinstall, swcopy, or swremove. The new
session is invoked automatically, using the same hosts, sources, software
and target selections from the selected job. You can then re-use the same
settings or make changes as needed.
This feature gives you the same advantages as using a session file in
swinstall, swremove, or swcopy session. This can help you:
• Distribute the same software to a new set of targets
• Distribute new software to a previously defined set of targets
• Change a job from preview to full execution
To copy a job:
1. Select the desired job icon or listing in the job list.
2. Choose
Actions→Create Job from Selected Job....
The SD-UX program that matches the original job is automatically
invoked. (For example, an installation job invokes swinstall.)
• The Target Selection window displays the previously specified
targets.
• The Software Selection window displays the list of previously
specified software.
3. Execute the program with the copied settings, or change the settings
before execution.
