Release a Resource

Renewable resources can be defined using the Free attribute with one of the following options: Y (free resource on success only), A (free resource unconditionally always), or N (do not free resources).

If you assign a resource as a dependency to a job with the attribute Free=N, and that job is terminated, the resource continues to be held by that job. For this resource to be available to other dependent jobs waiting to run, you must use the RELEASE_RESOURCE sendevent command to free the resource.

Note: The Free attribute is only valid for renewable resources.

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.
