how to rename SSRS subscription job to a propper name

Question

I have created some SSRS subscription which is generating as UNIQUE ID(GUID) in msdb.dbo.sysjobs . But now i want to rename these IDs to a proper name which will easy for maintenance.

I tried to rename the job name, steps of job and it's working properly.

Problem is that, again, this auto job has created (with GUID) for all the subscription.

This is the reason, two jobs are firing for same report , one from propername job and one from GUID job.

Please see below

You should not do this. Maintain all subscriptions through Report Manager, or SharePoint if you reports are hosted on SP. Sure, you can change the name of the job, but the minute you change the subscription, the job will be replaced.

If you want to be able to run subscriptions by hand, try make sure that the schedules vary enough from one to the other so you can identify them by when they run.

Messing with these jobs will only cause you pain the likes of which you do not want to experience. Just come to terms with it. Life is better that way.
