Force Start a Job

You can use the Force Start command to send a FORCE_STARTJOB event to the selected job or box job. The manually-generated FORCE_STARTJOB event starts the specified job, regardless of whether its starting conditions are satisfied. Because you can use this command to start multiple instances of the same job, we recommend that you use the FORCE_STARTJOB event only in extreme situations.

Note: If you assign a resource as a dependency to a job, and that resource is not available, a FORCE_STARTJOB event will not run.

Follow these steps:

1. Find a job.

   One of the following occurs:

   • If only one job is found, detailed information about the job is displayed.
   • If two or more jobs are found, the jobs are listed in the Search Results section.
2. (Optional) Click the name of the job in the Search Results section for which you want to display details.

   Detailed information about the job is displayed.

3. Do one of the following:
   • Select Force Start from the drop-down list in the Search Results section and click Go.
   • Click in the Job Flow section, select the appropriate job or box job in the flow, right-click, and select Force Start from the pop-up menu.

   A confirmation prompt appears.

4. Click Yes.

   The selected job is started.
