Modify all jobs using wildcards

This example shows how to modify all jobs in the database. In the event all jobs in the database need to be modified, this can be accomplished with wild cards. Common uses for a complete database modification are a new username, changes in protections across the database and changes in notification email address.

Examples

Windows:

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

What it does: Modifies all job in the database to the username smithre

OpenVMS:

modify [*.*]*,[*]* /gen=prot:(s:rwed,o:rwe,g:rwe,w:re)

or

modify  [*...]* /sub:flags=NoPrint /sub:print=""

What it does: Changes the protection for all jobs

UNIX/Linux:

chjob /*/*/*,/*/* -notify=submitted:(jdoughtry,mail,broadcast) -notify=failed:(pflanigan,mail)

What it does: Changes all jobs to send notification on submit and fail to designated emails
