Overview
There are a number of parameters within a job that can only be set when the job is first created (i.e. source/destination connections and paths). The ability to duplicate a job allows you to copy a DryvIQ does not support editing a job to change the locations, policies, and behaviors for a job. If you need to make these types of changes to a job, you will need to duplicate the job and override parameters of the " new " job.
...
REST API
Jobs can be duplicated through the REST API. The request can optionally include a JSON body that overrides the parameters within the source job. The request must include an appropriate Authorization header with a valid access token. An example request and response is found below.

POST <server-url>/v1/jobs/<job_id>/clone

Delete or Disable Original Job
When cloning a job, you want to ensure you either delete the original job or at least remove the job schedule so you do not encounter transfer conflicts.

DELETE {{url}}v1/jobs/{{original_job_id}} |

Deleted jobs are still available in the database and can be queried; the job history is NOT deleted. DryvIQ simply sets the flag to delete so it will be removed from REST API responses. When you delete a job, DryvIQ will flag it and there is a check every 5 seconds or so on each node which cancels the job if it is running. |
