Software Distributor Administration Guide (March 2009)

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.
6.2.5.7 Removing a Job
The Actions→ Remove a Job... menu choice lets you remove the currently selected
jobs from the Jobs List. (To select more than one job, hold down the CTRL key while
selecting jobs in the Job Browser window.) The Remove a Job dialog displays, listing
information about the selected jobs.

• If you remove a scheduled job that has not yet run, the job is never run.
• You cannot remove a job that is in progress.
6.3 Monitoring Jobs from the Command Line
The swjob command lets you display and monitor job information using the command
line. This command provides a quick, low-bandwidth alternative to the Job Browser
when you want to check on specific jobs.
