Creating jobs

Jobs in the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool execute one or more defined migration steps against the content configured in a plan. Each job is tied to a project, which in turn references a specific plan. This structure enables precise and repeatable migrations, broken into discrete execution units.

Creating multiple jobs per project is common practice — some jobs may stage data, others may validate, publish, or finalize content. This modularity supports iterative and non-disruptive migrations.

Steps to create a job

Do the following:

1. Select the Project
   On the Jobs tab, in the Project dropdown, select the project the job should be based upon.

   Information note

   To quickly reset the chosen steps, use the Clear selected steps button. :::

2. Click Create New
   On the right-hand side of the page, click Create New to open the job creation form.

3. Define a Job Name
   In the Job Name field, input a reference name for the job. This will only be used to distinguish it from other jobs.

   Information note

   The job name cannot be changed after the job has been created.

4. Confirm or change project
   By default, the Project field will match the project selected earlier. If needed, choose a different project from the dropdown.

5. Add migration steps
   Add one or more Migration Steps that the job should execute. These are selected from categorized tabs (for example, Applications, Spaces, NPrinting). Steps that are unavailable will appear grayed out.

   Information note

   If a migration step is grayed out and unavailable, hover over it to get details on why it is not available for the current selections.

6. Click Create Job
   Once all required fields are filled and steps are selected, click Create Job.

7. Verify
   If the job was successfully created, you will be returned to the Jobs list and a success notification will appear at the top of your screen.
