5.2 Upgrading Ad Hoc Jobs for Default-named Knowledge Scripts and Knowledge Script Group Members Using Propagation

You can upgrade all ad hoc jobs or reports started by a particular default-named Knowledge Script or Knowledge Script Group member by propagating 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.

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.

Before you propagate the Knowledge Script properties of a report, ensure that you have specified a value for all of the required parameters. For example, make sure you update a report script to include parameter values that are not displayed in the Values tab of the Knowledge Script Properties window.

To upgrade ad hoc jobs for default-named Knowledge Scripts and Knowledge Script Group members using propagation:

  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 Knowledge Script or Knowledge Script Group you want.

  3. (Conditional) If you are propagating a Knowledge Script, in the Tasks pane click Propagate > Knowledge Script To Ad Hoc Jobs.

  4. (Conditional) If you are propagating a Knowledge Script Group, in the Tasks pane click Propagate > Knowledge Script Group To Ad Hoc Jobs.

  5. (Conditional) If you are propagating a Knowledge Script Group, in the Knowledge Script Group Propagation window, select the members to propagate.

  6. In the Knowledge Script Propagation window, select the components of the Knowledge Script that you want to propagate to associated ad hoc jobs, and then click OK:
