Pausing Control-M/Server

This procedure describes how to pause Control-M/Server, which stops Control-M/Server from submitting jobs.

NOTE: Activities such as New Day and job tracking continue to be active in pause state.

EXAMPLE: You might want to pause submitting new jobs when you want to investigate abnormal behavior in Control-M/Server, without shutting it down, or if you want to start it up after its upgraded.

To pause Control-M/Server:

1. Select the Control-M/Server component that you want to pause.
2. Right-click and select Pause.

   A confirmation message appears.

3. Click Yes and one of the following occurs:
   • If the Control-M/Server state was up, then the state changes to Up and Pause. After you restart Control-M/Server, Pause is canceled, and new jobs are submitted.
   • If the Control-M/Server state was down, then the state changes to Down and Pause. After you restart Control-M/Server, Pause remains in effect and new jobs are not submitted.
