Use this form to view or create batch jobs. Depending on where you open the form from and your level of access, you can view either the batch jobs that you created or all batch jobs that have been scheduled in the system.
From this form you can also change the status of batch jobs or delete jobs that are no longer needed.
Batch jobs run on a per-partition basis. A system administrator can create, change, and view the history for the batch jobs in each partition. This form shows information about batch jobs only for the partition to which you are currently logged on.
Note
You cannot change batch information when the job is running or waiting to be run. You must change the batch status to Withhold before changing batch information.
