ORDER Command

Use the ORDER command to move one or more jobs to the front of the waiting job queue so CA VM:Backup will execute them sooner.

You can order any jobs, as long as it is queued but not already running. You cannot order jobs that are being compiled or have begun execution.

Jobs that are not on hold run in the order in which QUERY REQUESTS lists them or as they appear on the Manage System Activity screen.

ORDer jobids...

Definitions

jobids...

Specifies the job identification numbers of the jobs to move to the front of the queue. The ID numbers are assigned by CA VM:Backup when the jobs are submitted. You can specify more than one job, but you cannot specify the same job more than once in a list. You do not have to specify the leading zeros.

To view the jobids for specific jobs, use the QUERY REQUESTS command or view them from the Manage System Activity screen. If you specify an invalid jobid, the ORDER command does not complete and no jobs are reordered.

Examples

Suppose Jobs 10, 11, and 12 are in the waiting job queue, in that order. To reverse the order of these jobs, enter this command:

vmbackup order 12 11 10
