Remarks

Removing a schedule from a job prevents Microsoft® SQLServerAgent from executing the job according to that schedule. sp_update_jobschedule can be used to disable a scheduled job without removing it from the schedule.

SQL Server Enterprise Manager provides an easy, graphical way to manage jobs, and is the recommended way to create and manage the job infrastructure.

Permissions

Execute permissions default to the public role.
