How to change the user of a cancelled background (batch) job?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a batch job which is being cancelled as the reference user account is locked. I want to update the job with a new user.

How can I change the user for a cancelled job? I am able to change the user for a scheduled job (by right clicking the job >> Change) but not for a cancelled job.

I am getting the error: "<<Job Name>> cannot be changed due to its status" when trying to change the cancelled job.

Please help.

Thanks

Can we assign canceled jobs to some other user or do we need to released it first?

Hi vijay,

Log in with the User with which you want to re run the cancelled job.

1. Select the cancelled job

2. From the Menu go with the Job--> Repaet Scheduling.

if it is a periodic job, once the job got cancelled , the another job would have released. Do the changes to the released job as desired and drop thinking about cancelled job.

i feel nothing more to do with cancelled job

Hi,

You have to reschdule the same job using the required user id.

Hi Sachin,

I believe there should be some way to edit a cancelled job rather than re-scheduling it or re-creating it.

When I try to reschedule tha job, I am getting the error that reschedule has been failed.

Thanks
