Job Execution Task Target Properties

The Job Execution Task Target Properties window allows you to select a target job for a Job Execution Task and configure options for that target job.

Property Pages

Target

The Target page contains general settings for the target.

Enable this target

Determines whether the target will be executed. If the target is disabled (box is not checked) the target will be ignored during execution

Target job

Select the job to execute. Only jobs that you have "Execute" permission for are listed. To target a job on a different computer or instance, the Console must also be connected to that adTempus server.

Variables

The Variables page for the target lists variables from several sources:

• Variables defined here in the properties window
• Variables defined in or inherited by the job to be executed (the target job)
• Variables defined in the Job Execution Task Properties window
• Variables that have the Override Target box checked in the Job Execution Task Properties window (these variables are inherited by the calling job and the inherited values will be used in the target job)

The Override Target column indicates whether a variable will be sent to the target job:

• If there is no checkbox in the column, this indicates that the variable is defined in or inherited by the target job and either

  • it is not defined in or inherited by the calling job, or
  • the calling job inherits the variable from a common ancestor with the target job.

  That is, there is no inherited value to send to the target that is different than the value the target job already has. To use a different value in the target job, edit the variable to provide a new value.

• If the checkbox is checked and disabled, this indicates that the variable was defined or overridden in the target properties or step properties, or that the Override Target box was checked in the step properties. The shown value will be sent to the target job. If you do not want to send this value to the target job, click the Delete button to delete the override.
• If the checkbox is enabled, this indicates that the variable is defined or inherited for both the calling job and the target job, but the jobs have different values for the variable. Check this option to send the value from the calling job to the target job, or leave it unchecked if the target job should use its own value. The Value column will change to show the current value from the calling job or target job.
