deljobhst - Delete Job History

deljobhst [-ckjrUvw] [-d] [-u username] [-n JobName] [-f fromdate] todate

Delete the print files, completed job entries, and waiting job entries with an Invalid Parameter status.

For more information, see Lawson Administration: Jobs and Reports.

This utility is securable and if a security violation is encountered, access must be granted to the token through LSA. To grant a user access, see the Resources and Security Administration Guide.


Program Option	Description
`-c`	Delete Completed Job Entries. Deletes completed jobs on the Completed Jobs form and deletes the associated job logs from $LAWDIR/system/joblog. Note: This also deletes other files in $LAWDIR/system/joblog that do not have GEN database record as well as lapm logs wherein their associated PIDs are not running regardless if you use the -u username option.
`-k`	Keep Entries, Do Not Delete Produces a report listing the job histories without deleting them.
`-j`	Delete Recurring Job Entries Deletes recurring job entries that have passed their stop dates.
`-r`	Delete batch report files. Deletes all print files from the Print Manager. If you want to use the `-r` option, you must have the set UID bit set on deljobhst to enable it to run with root permission. Otherwise, the records are removed from GEN, but the print files are not physically removed.
`-U`	Print usage and syntax. Prints the file usage and syntax for the selected job history.
`-v`	Verbose. Produces a report listing the verbose entries.
`-d`	Debug Messages and Verbose. Displays debug messages and other details while the deljobhst utility runs.
`-w`	Delete waiting job entries. Deletes the waiting job entries on the Waiting Jobs form.
`-u username`	Delete entries for `username`. Note: This option is not available if you are using this utility through a LID form, rather than the command line.
`-n`	Delete job entries by job name. -uUsername option is required
`-f fromdate`	The date from which to start deleting job entries, in mmddyy format. todate is the date to delete job entries up to, in mmddyy format; or `curdate [-nbrdays]` . Note: If you do not use the `-f fromdate` option, the system deletes all job histories up to `todate`.
