update_job | Teradata DSA Commands - update_job - BAR - Data Stream Architecture

Purpose

The update_job command updates an existing DSA job based on the information from the command line parameters or the XML file if provided. Parameter values specified in the command line supersede values entered for the same parameters in the XML file.

You cannot use update_job to convert a standard backup or restore job to an incremental restore backup or restore job.
