Put a Job on Hold

You can use the On Hold command to send a JOB_ON_HOLD event to the selected job or box job. Jobs that are on hold do not start, temporarily preventing the remainder of the job flow from executing. If the job's status is STARTING or RUNNING, the On Hold command has no effect.

Note: A box job cannot successfully complete if a job in it is on hold.

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 On Hold 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 On Hold from the pop-up menu.

   A confirmation prompt appears.

4. Click Yes.

   The job is put on hold.
