Note

The following deprecated jobs also appear in the CMT Administration EPC Jobs list. Do not run them.

- EPC Create Object Classes (Deprecated): Creates a set of default Vlocity Object Class objects. To see the Object Class objects, go to the Vlocity Product Console.
- EPC Create Default Layouts (Deprecated): Creates a set of default layouts for the default Vlocity Object Class objects that the EPC create object classes job created. This job provides a default layout for viewing an object in the Vlocity Product Console. If there aren't any default layouts, going to any tab in the Product Console would result in a blank page. To see the layouts, go to the Vlocity Product Console and click Object. Click any object and then click Layout Management.

When you are upgrading from Vlocity CMT V15 to ​Salesforce Industries Communications, Media, and Energy Summer '17 or later, if Vlocity objects and layouts previously existed on your org, before running the EPC jobs, go to the Vlocity Objects and Object Types tab and the Vlocity Object Layouts tab and delete duplicate records. For more information, see [Delete Custom Objects](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.dev_deleting_custom_objects.htm&type=0&language=en_US&release=208.16) in the Salesforce Help.
