Summary

Managing jobs is not nearly as exciting or rewarding as building jobs, but understanding the processes around version control, exporting and importing jobs from the Studio, job execution, and scheduling will be critical to all serious users and developers. Building the disciplines of version control into your development process will improve organization and quality and will allow developers to collaborate or handover integration jobs with minimum fuss. Readers who are new to formal source control processes are encouraged to read further on this subject and to use the tools built into the Studio, versioning, exporting, and importing, to make their development processes as robust as possible.

In the next chapter, we will learn how we can make integration jobs flexible by utilizing global variables built into the Studio environment. We'll also look at context variables, which allow us to run the same job with a different context; for example, executed once with variables that relate...
