A server object is created for the server beta using the domain\administrator and password credentials. It assigns the server object to the variable called DtServerObjectBeta. The job(s) are retrieved from DtServerObjectBeta, but only the job information where the source machine name is equivalent to the name stored in the variable DtServerObjectAlpha is retrieved. That information is then stored in the variable DtJobForAlpha. A job option is changed. In this case, the total time before failover is triggered is set to 10 minutes. Finally, the job options are used to edit the specified job. The connections for the server object are then closed.
