Every schedule has only one prefix. <STRONG>Once a prefix gets associated with a</STRONG><BR /><STRONG>schedule, you cannot update the prefix</STRONG>. If some prefix is already associated with the<BR />schedule and you do not specify this parameter, then the previously defined prefix<BR />is used. The command fails if you try to update an existing prefix for a schedule.
