Job Management Manager DCL Commands › SCHEDULE> › ABORT › Parameter

Parameter

Job_specifier

The name or number of the jobs you want to abort. For example:

SCHEDULE> ABORT  MYJOB
SCHEDULE> ABORT  123

The job specifier is required, unless you use the /GROUP or /TYPE qualifier. If you omit the job specifier, the manager prompts you for it. However, if you specify /GROUP or /TYPE, the manager does not prompt for the job specifier. The following example aborts all of your jobs that belong to group WEEKLY and type FISCAL:

SCHEDULE> ABORT /GROUP=WEEKLY/TYPE=FISCAL

For more information on description of job specifiers and how to use them, see the CA Job Management for OpenVMS Administration Guide.

• To abort a job that belongs to another user, you must refer to the job by name and add the =username specifier to the name of the job. For example:

  SCHEDULE> ABORT THISJOB=DOE
  

  You must have EXECUTE access to a job to abort it.

• To abort a job on a remote node, you either add the node name to the job name or number, or use the /SERVER= qualifier. For example:

  SCHEDULE> ABORT NODE1::MYJOB
  SCHEDULE> ABORT NODE1::321
  SCHEDULE> ABORT MYJOB/SERVER=NODE1
  

You can use wildcard characters to refer to a job name, username, group name, and type name. For example, the following command aborts all jobs starting with the letter B that are in any GROUP starting with W and owned by any user whose name begins with D:

SCHEDULE> ABORT B*=D*/GROUP=W*
