You can perform a mass-update of job fields within a network provided you have write permission for networks in your user profile (see Network Maintenance Functions in the Administration documentation).

The mass update function copies values of specified network fields as default values to all jobs of a selected network.

The default values of the default network fields are also used when creating a new job.

To apply defaults modified in the network definition to all jobs in the network

1. Choose PF9 (DfJb) in the Network Modification or Network Addition window.

   An Application of Network Defaults to Jobs screen similar to the example below appears:

   Owner EXAMPLE Network B60-FLOW Version Application of Network Defaults to Jobs C Field old new C Field old new _ Symbol Table EXAM-ST1 _ Exec Node N0082 N0031 _ SymTab Version _ JCL Node N0194 N0031 _ JCL User ID _ JCL Loc NAT _ JCL Group _ Esc Act # _ Submit User ID _ Esc Sub _ Submit Group _ Job Prio _ BS2000 Def.User ID NOP _ Run Prio _ BS2000 Job Class _ EJA E-M N _ BS2000 Acct.Number _ SYSOUT User ID _ SYSOUT Cat ID A Modifying User (all) SAG _ File old EOR-T411 new EOR-T521 S only if same old A all ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PF1 Help PF3 End PF6 SAP

   The Field column lists all fields that can be copied to all jobs that belong to the network.

   The field values relevant for a mass update are listed in the Old and New columns.

   For more information on the columns and the fields available on the screen, see Columns: Application of Network Defaults to Jobs and Fields: Application of Network Defaults to Jobs.

2. In the C column, next to the field whose value you want to replace in the jobs, enter the required line command: see Commands: Application of Network Defaults to Jobs. Leave the C column empty for a value you do not want to replace.

3. Press ENTER when you are finished.

   The command(s) are executed and specified values are copied from the network fields to the corresponding job fields, if requested by the command.

   A message is returned indicating the number of jobs that have been modified.

For each job for which field values were replaced, the name of the field and the new field value are listed in the Entire Operations log with a message like Network default Activation Escape @ applied. See also Displaying Logged Information in the section Log Information.

Commands: Application of Network Defaults to Jobs

The line commands and PF keys available to copy new default field values to jobs on the Application of Network Defaults to Jobs screen are described in the following table.

The commands allow you to distinguish between jobs with network default definitions and jobs with individual definitions.

Line Command	Description
A	Replace all field values. Replace all values regardless of whether they are default settings or individual job definitions. This is the default setting for Modify User. The value (all) indicates that the Mod field in the job is always overwritten, regardless of the command used for function execution. The Mod contains the ID of the user who last modified a job definition.
S	Replace specific field values only. Replace the value only if the value in the Old column matches the current value in the corresponding job field. All other field values remain unchanged. Example: The value in the Old column for Execution Node is 10, and the value in the New column is 20. The Execution Node field of all jobs currently containing 10 changes to 20. All other execution node numbers remain as they are.
empty column	Replace no field value. Leave the line command field empty for a value you do not want to replace in a job field. A field value is not replaced when the C column is empty. This is the default for all values except Modify User.
