To replace a job definition with an existing job definition:

replace job job_name with exist_job_name

Note: When you replace a job with schedules, the new job includes the replaced schedules but they are inactive.

To replace a current job with a comparison for each compareset in a new job definition:

replace job job_name  
   [set description [{to|=}] description
   [and set max_concurrent_comparisons [{to|=}]
      max_concurrent_comparisons
  ]]
  add comparison foreach compareset 
       [{include | exclude} compareset_name_pattern
       [and compareset_name_pattern]…]
       [and set ABORT_DIFF_MAX [{to|=}] number_of_differences

       [and set AUTO_RECONCILE [{to|=}] {true|false}
       [and set COMPARE_MODE [{to|=}] {row_compare | key_compare | row_count} 
       [and set COMPRESS_DATA_TRANSFER [{to|=}] {true|false}

Parameters

job_name – the name of the job.
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.

exist_job_name – the name of an existing job to be cloned.

Comparison Options
Parameter	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. Note: Set the hash type comparison option to `agent_hash` for heterogeneous comparison. The `database_hash` comparison option is used only for Adaptive Server-to-Adaptive Server comparisons. Default value: database_hash.
NUM_PARTITIONS	Specifies the number of partitions for a table.
PRIORITY	Specifies the job comparison order in the comparison queue. Valid values are: `highest` `high` `normal` `low` Default value: normal.
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.

Scheduling Options
Parameter	Value
date_value	Specifies a date in the scheduler.
time_value	Specifies a time in the scheduler.
keep_value	Specifies the number of keep units for which this schedule remains active.
cron_value	Specifies the cron option value in the scheduler.

Examples

Example 1 – replaces the current job named “cust_chk” with a new job definition:

replace job cust_chk
add comparison cust1 
    set compareset=cust1
  set create_col_log = true 
  and set create_recon_script = true
go
