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 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 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 Start from the pop-up menu.

   A confirmation prompt appears.

4. Click Yes.

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