create job job_name with exist_job_name

Parameters

• job_name – the name of the job to be created.
• exist_job_name – the name of an existing job to be cloned.
• comparison_name – the name of the comparison to be added to the job.
• compareset_name – the name of the compareset to be added into the comparison.
• schedule_name – the name of the schedule to be added.
• max_concurrent_comparisons – (Optional) the number of the comparisons that can be run concurrently with a job. The default value is 5
• description – (Optional) description of the agent. Use double quotes if you are using a reserved word or blank spaces.
• comparison_param – defines various comparison options for the job, all of which are optional.
• value – defines a value for the comparison_param.

  Comparison Options

  comparison_param	value
  ABORT_DIFF_MAX	Aborts row comparison if the difference count exceeds the specified value. Valid values: 1 to 9223372036854775807. Default value:1000.
  ABORT_DIFF_ROW_COUNT	Determines whether to abort row comparison if table row counts do not match. Valid values: true or false. Default value: false.
  AUTO_RECONCILE	Indicates whether to automatically apply the reconciliation script. Valid values: true or false. Default value: false. Note: To enable AUTO_RECONCILE, set CREATE_COL_LOG to true.
  COMPARE_MODE	Specifies the row comparison mode. row_compare – compares all table rows. key_compare – compares the primary key columns. row_count – compress row count. Default value: row_compare.
  COMPRESS_DATA_TRANSFER	Compresses the row data between the agent and the server. Valid values: true or false. Default value: false.
  CREATE_COL_LOG	Generates a column differences log, which lists all missing, orphaned, and inconsistent row values (keys and columns). Create a column log if you want to: Generate a reconciliation script Perform automatic reconciliation Generate a detailed report Valid values: true or false. Default value: false.
  CREATE_RECON_SCRIPT	Generates a reconciliation script. To use this parameter, you must also set CREATE_COL_LOG to true. Valid values: true or false. Default value: false.
  ENABLE_ROW_COUNT	Determines whether or not to count source and target table rows before they are compared. DA server uses the row count to estimate the comparison progress and end time. Note: DA server counts rows if COMPARE_MODE is row_count. Use ENABLE_ROW_COUNT only if COMPARE_MODE is a value other than row_count. Valid values: true or false. Default value: true.
  EXTERNAL_SORT	Sorts rows on the agent, thereby reducing the impact of processing the ORDER BY clause in the databases. Valid values: true or false. Default value: false.
  HASH_TYPE	Specifies the hash type for the comparison. database_hash – use the hash function provided by the database. agent_hash – use the hash function provided by Replication Server Data Assurance Option. Default value: database_hash.
  RETRY_DIFF	Specifies the retry option. never – no recompare. wait_and_retry – run recompare based on RETRY_MAX and RETRY_DELAY_SEC settings. Default value: never.
  RETRY_DELAY_SEC	Specifies the number of seconds delay for each recomparison. Valid values: 0 to 86400. Default value: 10.
  RETRY_MAX	Specifies the total number of recomparison for rows that have differences resulting from a previous comparison. Valid values: 0 to 100. Default value: 3.

  Column Comparison Option

  Column Option	Value
  COMPARE_MODE	Specifies for how each column is compared. column_hash – compares using column hash value. row_hash – compares all columns with this option together with a whole hash value. literal – compares using column literal value.

• schedule_param – defines the scheduling option for the job.
• value – defines a value for schedule_param.

  Scheduling Option Parameters

  schedule_param	value
  date_value	Specifies a date in the scheduler.
  time_value	Specifies a time in the scheduler.
  month_day_value	Specifies the day of the month in the scheduler.
  cron_value	Specifies the cron option value in the scheduler.

Examples

• Example 1 – creates a new job named “myjob_1”:

  create job myjob_1
  set max_concurrent_comparisons = 3
  add comparison mycomparison_1 
  set compareset=mycompareset_1
  and set priority = high 
  with column option
  and set a = literal
  set b = hash
  and comparison mycomparison_2 
  set compareset=mycomparset_2
  and set priority = normal 
  with schedule myschedule_1 
  set type=every_days
  and set every=2
  and set time=10:00
  and set keep=1
  and set keep_unit=months
  and set date=2011-05-05
  go

  The returned result is:

  Job “myjob_1” was created successfully.

• Example 2 – clones “myjob_1” to a new job “myjob_2”:

  create job myjob_2 with myjob_1 
  go

  The returned result is:

  Job “myjob_2” was created successfully.
