Updating a Job

You use UpdateJob to update the specifics of how you want a job done. You specify a job using the job ID returned in the CreateJob response. You update a job request by replacing the original manifest with the manifest you include in this request. You can either modify the original manifest you submitted or start over and create a new manifest file. In either case, the original manifest is discarded.

You can only use UpdateJob after submitting a CreateJob request, but before the data transfer starts, and you can only use it on jobs you own.

To update a job using the command line client

Use the UpdateJob command with the new or updated manifest.

>  java -jar lib\AWSImportExportWebServiceTool-1.0.jar UpdateJob JOBID Export C:\DIRECTORY\updatedmanifest.txt
