Re: Changing job description for compiling

The only way I know of (in WDSC 7.0) is to create a new connection for
each job description. Might seem over kill but then you get to code the
job description into the connection properties. You could even name the
connection like the job description name.

Thanks, Matt

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Changing job description for compiling

Hey all,

I'm starting to tackle some of the road blocks I've encountered with
WDSCi vs PDM. In another thread I mentioned not knowing how to compile
with a specific job description, and I was told to Compile with Prompt,
but I don't see Job Description as a parameter (after selecting All
Parameters).

Currently I have a library list filter set up so I can adjust it library
by library there, but it I work with quite a number of job profiles and
it'd be great to be able to flip between them. How are people doing
this today?

As a sidenote, it seems silly to me that I have to click a checkbox to
see parameter keywords (since in the IDE it really means "see keywords
in addition to the example values" as opposed to "instead of the example
values"). Is there a way to default that to always being on?

Thanks a lot,
