Using Wildcards

The use of wildcards is a powerful tool to change multiple jobs with a single command. Wildcards can be particularly useful when changing properties such as User name, owner or log path for all jobs in a database. This example changes the user name for all jobs in the database:

Windows Format:

modify /process=user:smithre \*\*\*,\*\*

UNIX/Linux Format:

chjob -process=user:smithre /*/*/*,/*/*

OpenVMS Format:

modify /process=user:smithre [*.*]*,[*]*

will change the user name for all jobs in the current database.
