Changing defaults in output parameters when scheduling a job

CodeRookie

<p>Good morning, all! When scheduling a job, under the "Output" tab there is a choice to change how the document is handled if a previous version already exists (see pic). The default choice is "Create a new version", and the user is forced to pick "Replace the latest version" if they so desire. Unfortunately, our users are creating a storage nightmare by: A, not choosing to replace when they should be, and B, not picking a manageable archive policy (delete after 30 / 60 days). </p>

<p>That is going to require a modification to one of the Management Console's JSP pages as there are no user preferences or settings that can change the default.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did a bit of digging and it looks like the output.jsp, located in the directory "./servletcontainer/mgmtconsole/jobs/newjobs", is probably going to be the file that needs to be modified.</p>

<p>Jesse,</p>
<p>Thanks for the quick reply! Here is what I was able to find in Ouput.jsp:</p>
<p> </p>
<div><td colspan="2" nowrap="nowrap"></div>
<div><html:radio property="ifExists" value="replace" onclick="toggleVersion(this.form, false)"/></div>
<div><bean:message bundle="iportalResources" key="CB_REPLACE_LATEST" locale="<%= AcConstants.CURRENT_JAVA_LOCALE %>" /></div>
<div><span>&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp</span></div>
<div><html:checkbox property="keep" value="ON" onclick="toggleNVersions(this.form)"/></div>
<div><html:hidden property="stringKeep" /></div>
<div><bean:message bundle="iportalResources" key="CB_KEEP_LATEST" locale="<%= AcConstants.CURRENT_JAVA_LOCALE %>" /></div>
<div><html:text property="numVersions" size="5" maxlength="10" styleId="keepVersion"/></div>
<div><bean:message bundle="iportalResources" key="CB_VERSIONS" locale="<%= AcConstants.CURRENT_JAVA_LOCALE %>" /></div>
<div></td></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm guessing the change I need to make is contained within the above block of code. I'm waiting to hear back from a fellow IT team member to see if he has a testing "sandbox" for Actuate set up somewhere so that I can make changes and not break things (breaking things, although great for learning, is generally frowned upon....).</div>
<div>So, I'm just going to hang out and wait for his response. Thanks so much for your help. Have a great evening!</div>

<p>Definitely do not make any changes in a live environment to the JSP pages until you have thoroughly tested them in a sandbox/test environment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When you do go to start making changes, be sure to make backups of any files you are modifying so it can be easily rolled back in case of issues.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Let me know if you have issues getting the change made once you have access to a test environment. I don't have an active iServer environment currently but I should be able to get one setup for testing if necessary.</p>
