Controlling job activity in the Job Monitor

Jobs that are currently active in the EnterpriseSCHEDULE state queues can be controlled in a number of ways after they're submission. There are a number of cases when this capability is needed. For instance, if you want to suspend a job temporarily, you can choose Suspend and then Resume. If you want to cancel the job run prior to it's completion, you can select Abort. The Job control capabilities in the Job Monitor are as follows:

Action

Description

Suspend

Forces an executing job to be suspended. If the job has not yet been submitted for execution then at submission time it is submitted as PENDING.

Resume

Forces an executing job to resume. If the job has not yet been submitted for execution then at submission time it is submitted as PENDING.

Abort

Abort indicates that the job is to be aborted immediately. If the job has started execution then it is terminated.

ReStart

Restarts the job using the same set information.

ReComplete

ReComplete performs the final stage of a job run. The ReComplete command completes the final stage of a job run. The job's command list is not processed, nor are any resource or end action list commands. The job will appear as a successful completion in the P (Holding previous completions) queue and initiates will be submitted if the initiate box is checked. If the command is used to recover from a previous job run, the set id of the previous run should be designated to insure proper job flow.
