AutoSys scheduler update JIL

We use AutoSys for job scheduling, and I find myself writing a lot of JIL (job instruction language) scripts to delete boxes and re-insert them due to small job changes (e.g. start time, etc.). Is there an update command that can be used? CA's AutoSys cheat sheet has no information on one.

Solution

  • Yes,

    It is the update_job: attribute.

    Example to change the box BOX_A start time to 15:00 from 14:00

    update_job: BOX_A
start_times: "15:00"

    Save this into a file and run it using jil < filename.jil
