Deleting Jobs

In order to eliminate unused, unneeded, or obsolete jobs and reports, you may need to perform some cleanup of the jobs and reports you are responsible for. Your system administrator may perform other cleanup operations as well. For users whose access is controlled by Lawson Security, what cleanup the users are allowed to do depends on the security setup. The list below displays several types of items which can be deleted:

  • Job definitions. See the section "To delete a job definition (multiple-step or single-step)".

    You can delete job definitions through the Job List form or through the individual batch parameter forms. You must delete job definitions for a batch update or report if the parameter form for the batch update or report changes (for example, the order of the parameters is changed). In that case, you must create the job definitions again using the new parameter form.

  • Jobs. See the section "To delete a job from the Job Schedule list".

    You can delete jobs through Job Schedule. If the job has not yet been processed, it is also removed from the job queue.

  • Print files. See the section "To delete print files".

    You delete print files through the Print Manager form.
