About this task
The Remote System Explorer contains a Jobs subsystem, in the
Remote Systems view. The subsystem contains many categories for IBM® i jobs, such as Active Jobs (any jobs active
on the your IBM i server), My
Active Jobs (any active IBM i jobs
that you own), and My Jobs (all of your active or inactive
jobs), and so on.
Through the Jobs subsystem, you can end, hold, or
release your job:
- In the Remote Systems view, expand your connection, and expand Jobs.
- Expand Active Jobs, or My Active Jobs,
and so on. (see the related concept for more information on different types
of jobs).
- If applicable, expand the relevant IBM i subsystem
for the job category.
- Right-click the job you want to end, hold, or release:
- To end a job, select:
- (to allow programs running in the job to perform their end-of-job
cleanup)
- (to use if a job is frozen and the Controlled option
fails)
- To hold a job, right-click and select Hold. If
your job is in the Scheduled state, Hold ensures that the job does not start
to run as it otherwise would according to job scheduling. If your job is in
the Active state, Hold will pause the job. If your job is in the Finished
state, Hold marks the spool files as Held, and certain operations on the output
queue will bypass these Held files.
- To release a job from the held state, right-click the job and select Release.
