Selecting jobs in Orchestration CLI

In Orchestration CLI you can perform actions either on a single job or on multiple jobs in the same instance. When you want to run commands on multiple jobs, instead of the job name, select the set of jobs by means of attributes and job qualifiers.

You can use job qualifiers to select more than one job at the same time. You can configure the various parameters and conditions to select specific set of jobs. You can specify the jobs as described below:

[[folder/]workstation#][[folder/]jobstreamname[hhmm[date]].jobname

or

[folder/]workstation#]jobnumber

or

jobstream_id.job;schedid [[+ | ~]jobqualifier[...]]

The details required for each parameter are given below.

[folder/]workstation#
You can specify the workstation on which the job is run. Optionally, you can specify the folder in which the workstation is defined.
[folder/]jobstreamname
You can specify the job stream in which the job is added. Optionally, you can specify the folder in which the job stream is defined.
hhmm[date]
You can specify the date and time of the job stream instance scheduled to run.
jobnumber
You can specify the job number. It is a unique number that is generated when the job begins to run.
jobstream_id;schedid
You can specify the jobstream_id that is unique for each job stream instance. When you specify thejobstream_id, make sure to add ;schedid also or else the value entered for the ID is mistaken as job stream name.
job qualifiers
You can use job qualifiers to select a specific job or set of jobs. For more information, see Job qualifiers.
