Make Jobs Readonly

Hi,

I want to make few jobs of project readonly. I took export of the jobs (need to make readonly) and opened dsx files and changed Readonly flag to 1 from 0 i.e. Readonly "1"

Than imported the dsx, still my job is not readonly (it is in editable mode)

I don't want to restrict the project.

Can anybody please let me know what is the issue.

Thanks in Advance.

I tried by exporting a test job to XML file and then replacing every occurrence of Readonly="0" to Readonly="1".I then imported the job back into the project, however the job is still editable.It appears to me that the only way to make a job read only is to "Protect Project", but that will defeat the purpose of what you are requesting

By setting the read-only flag on the .dsx-file you just change a property of a file, not of the objects contained.

An alternative is to transfer a job from one project to another without its design - binaries only. This will make it impossible to open and/or change the job in DSDesigner on the target project.
