we can set project properties to atuo purge job's log,but Auto-purging is applied to all new jobs created in the project.how can I batch auto-purging for existing jobs?

Ken Bland has a utility which will fix the auto purge settings for all jobs on his web site.

There used to be a utility on ADN which would do a CLEAR.FILE RT_LOGnnn for every job. This is not recommended but does work. Not sure who has this now. Would be easy to rewrite.

hi,kduke the command "CLEAR.FILE RT_LOGnnn " can clear log,but the job's entry has been destroyed.do you know any other way?

Yes. A routine that steps through all the jobs, purging the job logs and reinstating/reconstructing the control records. But do you want to archive them first?

So... this has got nothing to do with 'auto purging' but rather you are looking for some schedulable way to manually purge your job logs? What about the Auto Purge functionality isn't working for you?

As noted, you can get your hands on Ken Bland's utilities from his website and one of them will allow you to set auto-purge levels across as many jobs as you like, including the 'old' ones that didn't get your new Project level settings.

A simple Search would have revealed that the function already exists on DSXchange.
