CANCEL Usage Notes

The record for the specified job is deleted from the appropriate queue, and if CA WA Restart Option is used, an attempt is made to clear the CMT.

Note: For more information about CA WA Restart Option, see the Interface Reference Guide.

Obviously, canceling a job stops all triggering by the canceled job and does not satisfy requirements for other jobs that may be dependent on the canceled job.

The job does not go through normal job completion; therefore, job triggering and requirement posting are not performed.

All output workstation networks for the canceled job are notified and their records are deleted from the postprocess queue.

The QM.1 panel can also be used to cancel jobs.

For XPJOB jobs, the XPDEF, XPKILL initialization keyword can be set to send a cancel request to a target platform. To ensure the job (or process) has been canceled from the target node, monitor that platform as necessary because CA WA CA 7 Edition does not ensure that the cancel has taken effect. If the cancel request was not sent to the target platform, the browse and log data reflects the returned information from the send request. Possible causes include a CAICCI issue or the unavailability of the target system.

Note: For more information about the XPKILL keyword in the XPDEF initialiation file statement, see the Systems Programming Guide.
