Configure default job execution and job properties

You can configure the default property attributes for an entity with restrictions to control the behavior of jobs that are running on the entity.

Some of the default settings that are configured for an entity apply to all the jobs that run on the entity and job positions for the entity.

The job default property attributes are on the Job Defaults tab in the Object Editor. For this tab to appear in Object Editor, the Entity Can Run Jobs option on the General tab must be selected.

When an entity is created, the default job values that are configured in the OCO are stored for an entity. If the default data already exists for an entity, then those values are overwritten with the configured values in the OCO when you run the Entity Model Builder.

If the default values are changed in the System Platform IDE after running the Entity Model Builder, you must run the Entity Model Builder again to update the new values in the MES database.

For information about the attributes available at run time, see Default job attributes available at run time.
