    Can anyone advise on what tables would need to be queried to determine user's joblists, with the dates they last ran each? Also, is there a utility that can be used to delete whichever jobs we identify as being obsolete?

    We'd like to clean out user's joblists by deleting all obsolete jobs that they no longer use because we are finding that when they use drill/drop-down in Portal, it is taking longer to bring up the lists. We assume this may be partially attributable to the large volume of jobs they have, many of which are no longer even used.

    Thank you.

      I use the command below in a shell script that watches for failed jobs. You should be able to modify it to get what you want. I don't see how this is going to work out good for you. The job of cleaning up thier own jobs belongs to the individual users. Having been down this road before, if you delete a job that a user only runs once every 5 years they'll sure as the world need it the day after you delete it. Then they're going to be mad at you and esclataing it to everyone's boss. My adivce would be to list the jobs, e-mail them to the user, and advise them to clean up their act. Maybe that's just me though. Would be interesting to see if anyone else agrees.
