Rerunning a job

Reruns the job.

Holding a job

Holds (stop processing) the job.

If the job has not started to execute, Hold prevents it from executing even after all submission criteria are satisfied.

If the job is executing, Hold does not stop its execution but the job maintains its Executing status until the job is freed.

If the job has completed executing, while Held, it must be freed before you can rerun it again.

The job remains in the Held state until you release it using the Free option.

Releasing a job

Frees (resume the processing of) the job. If you held a job, you must free it before processing can resume.

Running a job now

Enables the job to ignore its prerequisites and run immediately.

Restarting a job

Restarts the job using Control-M/Restart from a specific state. (z/OS only).

Killing a job

Terminates the job and its associated processes. Killing a specific instance of a cyclic job does not affect subsequent runs of that job.

Setting a job to OK

Changes the job’s status to Ended OK. Available for jobs with a status of Ended Not OK or for jobs in a Wait status (such as Wait Time or Wait Cond) or changes the job status to Ended OK without performing the post-processing actions of the job.

For jobs running under Control-M for z/OS, set Job to OK always performs post- processing, regardless of the default setting in the CTMPARM member.

Confirming a job

Confirms that Control-M should process a job that requires manual confirmation (that is, the job has a Wait User (pink) status).

Reactivating a job

Reactivates post processing for the selected job. [z/OS only].

Deleting a job

Deletes the job. This action does not physically delete the job; it only changes the job status to Deleted. The job remains visible in the active jobs database until the next cleanup of the active jobs database by the New Day procedure or manual request. Until then, you can restore the job.

Recovering a job

Recovers a job that still appears in the Active Jobs database by changing the status of the job.

Activating external programs

Starts external programs with selected job information. External programs are configured in the File>Options>External Programs dialog box.

Ordering jobs

Enables you to manually order jobs and folders from the Viewpoint tab.
