3. Define the job by assigning values to the fields on the General tab. For more information, see Entering General Information for Jobs.
4. If you wish, you can edit the information on the other tabs in the Jobs window at this time. For information on each of the tabs of the Jobs window, see Using the Tabs of the Jobs Window.
5. Click Apply to add the job definition to the list of jobs, or OK to add the new definition to the list of jobs and close the Jobs window.

Editing and Deleting Jobs

To edit or delete a job, select the job on the Jobs Selector window and select the appropriate button. For information on using selector windows, see Adding, Editing, and Deleting Applications Manager Objects.

If a job is used in one or more process flows, you must remove it before you can delete the job. If a job is used in a process flow and you try to delete it, Applications Manager will display a message saying the job is in use.

If a task for a job is in the Backlog, you cannot delete it. You will need to wait until the task has completed executing before you can delete its definition.
