ABORT JOB Command

The ABORT JOB command terminates the backup, restore, parallel backup or restart

job as quickly as possible. The BRCMD file and BRIC file are not deleted. However,

the DMA updates the STATUS record in the BRJOBS file and changes the job state to

ABORTED.

jobid

is a valid unique job identifier with a maximum of eight characters. The characters

can be alphabetic, numeric, or a combination. The first character cannot be

numeric. Wild cards (* or ?) are not permitted. Job IDs are not case-sensitive. The

job ID must exist in the BRJOBS file.

For example:

A1234567

aaaaaaaa

abcdEFG

I607

Guidelines



A super-group user (255,n) can abort any job. The owner of a job can also abort it.



You can use the ABORT JOB command only on active jobs. The status must be

INIT, RUN, WAIT, CAT, or TERM.



The ABORT JOB command provides no output unless an error occurs.

Example

BR> ABORT JOB zbr005be ;

ABORT JOB jobid ;
