5.4 Upgrading Ad Hoc Jobs Associated with Renamed Knowledge Scripts and Knowledge Script Group Members

You can use the Knowledge Script Propagation wizard in Control Center to upgrade jobs associated with Knowledge Scripts you created by copying and renaming default Knowledge Scripts. You can propagate the new or modified Knowledge Script to:

  • Renamed Knowledge Scripts and ad hoc jobs that were started from those renamed Knowledge Scripts.

  • Renamed Knowledge Scripts within Knowledge Script Groups.

  • Only renamed Knowledge Scripts.

You can upgrade one or both of the following Knowledge Script elements:

  • The actual script logic

    If you select to propagate only the script logic, the propagation retains any changes you have made to the default values for job parameters. If the Knowledge Script includes a new parameter, the propagation adds the parameter. If a parameter has been removed from the Knowledge Script, the propagation deletes the parameter.

  • The Knowledge Script properties, including changes to schedule, monitoring values, override values, actions, and advanced options

    If you have changed the default values for job parameters and you select to propagate Knowledge Script properties, the propagation replaces your customizations with the default parameter values specified in the Knowledge Script.

If you have configured an override value for a job parameter, the propagation replaces the override value with the override value specified in the Knowledge Script, if one was specified. If an override value is not specified in the Knowledge Script, the default parameter value is propagated.

You cannot undo propagation of new code and properties to renamed Knowledge Scripts. If you update the jobs associated with renamed Knowledge Scripts, all corresponding jobs are stopped and restarted with the changes. If you are managing more than one QDB with Control Center, the propagation applies to all corresponding jobs across all QDBs.

To upgrade ad hoc jobs associated with renamed Knowledge Scripts and Knowledge Script Group members:

  1. In the Enterprise Layout view of the Navigation pane in the Control Center console, click the appropriate Knowledge Scripts view.

  2. In the view pane, click the default Knowledge Script you want and then in the Tasks pane click Propagate > Knowledge Script To Renamed Knowledge Scripts.

  3. Use the Knowledge Script Propagation wizard to select the renamed Knowledge Scripts you want to upgrade, where to propagate the Knowledge Script changes, and the Knowledge Script elements to propagate. For more information about completing these actions, see the Help in the wizard.
