Using Monitoring › Job Management › Kill a Job

Kill a Job

You can use the Kill command to send a KILLJOB event to the selected job or box job. The manually-generated KILLJOB event instructs the scheduling manager to kill the specified job if it is RUNNING and change its status to TERMINATED. If the job’s status is not RUNNING, the Kill command has no effect.

Notes:

• If the selected job is a box job, the scheduling manager changes the box job's status to TERMINATED and (if configured to do so) also kills the jobs it contains. The result of this command depends on the type of job selected and the type of server (UNIX or Windows) on which the job is running.
• This event is not supported with all job types. For more information, see the CA Workload Automation AE Reference Guide.

Follow these steps:

1. Find the appropriate job or box job.
2. Do one of the following:
   • Right-click that job in the Jobs table and select Kill from the pop-up menu

     Note: To send the command to multiple jobs or box jobs, use the Shift or Ctrl key and mouse to select the appropriate jobs or box jobs. Next, right-click, and select Kill from the pop-up menu.

   • Select the appropriate jobs or box jobs in the flow, right-click, and select Kill from the pop-up menu.
   • Select the appropriate jobs or box jobs in the Jobs or Box Jobs sections on the View Details or Box Job Details page. Next, select Kill from the Select and drop-down list, and click Go.

   A confirmation prompt appears.

3. Click Yes.

   The selected job is terminated.

Note: Alternatively, you can use the Send Event or Send Server Event dialog to send this event.
