To create a job instance from one of the database maintenance templates, you must access the specific template details from the Jobs.Job Templatespage.

To access job templates for setting up a job instance:

  1. In the OpenEdge Management console menu, choose one:
    • Click Jobs > New > Job from a Template.

    • Click Jobs > Go to Jobs > Create Job from a Template.

    The Create Custom Job page appears.

    The Database Maintenance, OpenEdge Management Configuration, and OpenEdge Management Trend Database Maintenance categories include all the OpenEdge Management-supplied jobs. You can create additional templates to add to these categories, or you can create additional categories. For details about creating user-defined templates, see OpenEdge Management: Resource Monitoring.

  2. Select the database maintenance job from which you want to create a job instance. The Job Properties page appears.
    Note: When the Job Properties page appears, you might find that several fields already display values. This is one of the main benefits of the template; you need to supply only the data unique to this job instance.
  3. Complete the Job Properties page. Use the information in the following table to find details about each database maintenance job template's Properties page:
