Do you have Administrator permission in adTempus?

Where are the Job Variables that your jobs are modifying--on the jobs that are being duplicated, on other jobs within the group that's being duplicated, on the group that's being duplicated, or outside the group?

Hi Bill,

I do have Administrator permission.

In Jobs, I have Group LPS

In Group LPS, I have 2019

In Group 2019, I have LPS19GS 

I try to duplicate LPS19GS to LPS20GS, so it will be created in 2019. Next step is to move it to 2020.

The variable JR is defined in the Group 2019 and it is set in

LPSjjGS -> Jaar -> Init Jaar (see adTempusDuplicate_Groups.png and other atttachments  

 Related to that: When I try to update a variable in group-level 4 deep, with Scope: Update definition for Job Group, will it update on level-2, when it is not defined in level-3, or will it create the variable on level-3?

Thanks,

Guy 

I tried this and it worked correctly for me. What version of adTempus are you running?

adTempus will not create the variable. It will update it at the first level it finds a variable by that name (working up from the job's immediate owner group). So in your case, it will update in level-2.

Hi Bill,

 I tried an alternative and exported a group and now try to import it into another group.

Same problem. It looks like, the import fails when I try to update a variable which should be created as part of the import. When I Edit the error, and change the update of the variable from 'Update definition for Job Group' to 'Apply to existing instance only', the message disappears.

Thanks,

Guy
