Copy a job

In Prinergy, you can copy original jobs and pre-jobs to create new jobs and pre-jobs on your Prinergy system. You can copy a job when you need to perform the following tasks:

When you copy a job, all job related data from the original job is copied to the new job. If the original job is online, contents of the job folder are copied to the new job. If the original job is offline, you have to use the Archiver to retrieve contents of the job folder contents of the job folder into the new job.

  1. From your XXMainGroup, select the job XX_Manage_Jobs.
  2. From the File menu, choose Copy Job.
  3. In the Copy Job dialog box, select the XXTestGroup. This is the location where XX_Manage_Jobs will be copied to.
  4. In the Create new Job as window, change the name of the job to XX_Manage_Jobscopy.
    Note: When you copy a job to a new location, you need to change the name of the job. If copying the job to a different server, you only have to change the name of the job if there is another job with the same name.
  5. Click the Copy Job button.

Destroying a job or pre-job permanently deletes all files and information about the job or pre-job. Only destroy a job if you are sure you will never need the job again. This action creates additional storage space on your Prinergy server. Only destroy a job if you have previously archived the job, or know you will never need to use the job again.
