If you dump and load job objects, the load operation automatically sets the job to inactive in the new repository. This ensures that the job is not unintentionally started before the load process is finished and it allows you the opportunity to modify the job object if needed. For example, to adjust the scheduling to coordinate with other jobs in the new repository.

The load operation sets jobs to inactive (is_inactive=TRUE) when it loads the jobs, and sets the jobs’ run_now property to FALSE.

If the load operation finds an existing job in the target repository that has the same name as a job it is trying to load, it does not load the job from the dump file.
