Monitoring and Controlling Jobs › Drop Variable Dependencies

Drop Variable Dependencies

You can drop some or all of a job's variable dependencies before a job becomes eligible for submission if the job no longer needs to wait for variable dependencies, or you want the job to become eligible for submission sooner.

Note: You can drop a dependency only for a running Application.

To drop variable dependencies

1. Right-click the job in the Monitor perspective.

   A list of job commands appears.

2. Select Drop Variable Dependencies.

   The Drop Variable Dependencies dialog opens.

3. Do one of the following:
   • Select a variable dependency, or hold the Ctrl key and select multiple variable dependencies in the Variable Dependency Expressions table. Click Drop Selected to drop the selected variable dependencies.
   • Click Drop All to drop all variable dependencies at once.
4. (Optional) Enter the command reason in the Reason field.

   Limit: 1024 characters (including the timestamp and the user name)

   Note: We recommend that the reason text not exceed 250 characters. The number of commands displayed in the command log is limited to the size of the command log buffer, which is 1024 characters. For example, if the reason text averages 10 characters per command, the command log displays up to 50 commands; if the reason text averages 250 characters per command, the command log displays up to 4 commands.

   The appropriate variable dependencies are dropped.
