Using Monitoring › Job Management › Start a Job

Start a Job

You can use the Start command to send a STARTJOB event to start the selected job or top-level box job when its starting conditions are satisfied. The STARTJOB event ignores date and time conditions, but it enforces all other starting conditions such as job dependencies.

Note: You cannot send a STARTJOB event to a job that is contained in a box job. Jobs in box jobs inherit the starting conditions of these box jobs; as a result, they start when the box job starts. If the job is contained in a box job, the STARTJOB event has no effect.

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 Start 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 Start from the pop-up menu.

   • Select the appropriate jobs or box jobs in the flow, right-click, and select Start 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 Start from the Select and drop-down list, and click Go.

   A confirmation prompt appears.

3. Click Yes.

   The selected job is scheduled to start when its starting conditions, other than date and time, are satisfied.

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