# Adding job tags to an existing Batch Operations job
<a name="put-job-tags"></a>

You can use the [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_control_PutJobTagging.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_control_PutJobTagging.html) API operation to add job tags to your existing Amazon S3 Batch Operations jobs. For more information, see the following examples.

## Using the AWS CLI
<a name="batch-ops-example-cli-job-tags-put-job-tagging"></a>

The following is an example of using `s3control put-job-tagging` to add job tags to your S3 Batch Operations job by using the AWS CLI. To use the examples, replace the {{`user input placeholders`}} with your own information.

**Note**  
If you send this request with an empty tag set, Batch Operations deletes the existing tag set on the object. However, if you use this approach, you are charged for a Tier 1 Request (`PUT`). For more information, see [Amazon S3 pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing).  
Instead, to delete existing tags for your Batch Operations job, we recommend using the `DeleteJobTagging` operation because it achieves the same result without incurring charges.

1. Identify the job `TAGS` that you want for the job. In this case, you apply two tags, `{{department}}` and `{{FiscalYear}}`, with the values `{{Marketing}}` and `{{2020}}` respectively.

   ```
   read -d '' TAGS <<EOF
   [
     {
       "Key": "{{department}}",
       "Value": "{{Marketing}}"
     },
     {
       "Key": "{{FiscalYear}}",
       "Value": "{{2020}}"
     }
   ]
   EOF
   ```

1. Run the following `put-job-tagging` command with the required parameters:

   ```
   aws \
       s3control put-job-tagging \
       --account-id {{123456789012}} \
       --tags "${TAGS//$'\n'/}" \
       --job-id {{Example-e25a-4ed2-8bee-7f8ed7fc2f1c}} \
       --region {{us-east-1}}
   ```

## Using the AWS SDK for Java
<a name="batch-ops-examples-java-job-with-tags-put"></a>

To put tags on an S3 Batch Operations job using the AWS SDK for Java, you can use the S3Control client to add or update tags with key-value pairs for organization and tracking purposes.

For examples of how to put job tags with the AWS SDK for Java, see [Add tags to a batch job](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/s3-control_example_s3-control_PutJobTagging_section.html) in the *Amazon S3 API Reference*.
