You can, however, modify an agent job using the Modify Job dialog box. For information, see
Section 3.5, Modifying Agents in Job Manager.
Note: If, while adding or modifying a job in the Job Manager, you
enter a script in the Script field, then the Oracle BI Scheduler creates a file with an SCS extension in the following directory:
\orainst\bifoundation\OracleBISchedulerComponent\coreapplica tion_obisch1\scripts\scheduler
Where orainst is the install location for Oracle Business Intelligence. Oracle BI Schedulers job scripts are stored in this location not in the
back-end database, so do not remove scripts from here.
