Named jobs are batch jobs that have been saved to a file. They have a default extension of NJOB (for "named job"). For example, the job myjob will be saved as MYJOB.NJOB.

See Saving and restoring named batch jobs for more information on named jobs.

Method 1: Using the Job Submit dialog

Select Job > Submit, or click Submit Job Job Submit on the toolbar. You can save new jobs or recall previously saved jobs using the Job Submit dialog in Batch Manager. Job Submit provides command buttons to allow access to named jobs:

Open -- Opens a specified named job. This command displays a dialog that allows you to browse for named jobs. By default, only files with the .NJOB extension are shown. You can also display all files in the current directory. Select the named job to load the stored information about the job into the Job Submit dialog box.

Save/ Save As -- Saves all job information that has been entered in the Job Submit dialog box. If you try to save a named job to an existing file, Batch Manager prompts you before proceeding. You can choose a different filename, or replace information in the existing file with information currently displayed on the Job Submit dialog box.

Method 2: Using the Named Job File

Select the named job file (.NJOB extension), drag it into the Batch Manager window, and drop it. The Job Submit dialog displays with information specified for the named job.

You can also start Batch Manager from the command line with the name of a named job file by keying in batchmgr myjob.NJOB, where myjob is the name of the job file, or double-clicking on the job file in Windows Explorer. Note that you cannot use this method if Batch Manager is already running.
