RELEASE-WAITON Command
Use the RELEASE-WAITON command to release dependent jobs from their masters,
without running the masters.
dependent-job-ID
specifies a dependent job’s name or, when master-job-ID does not contain wild-
card characters, a range of dependent jobs’ names. To specify a range of job
names, use the asterisk (*) and question mark (?) wild-card characters. An asterisk
on its own specifies all dependent jobs.
master-job-ID
specifies a master job’s name or, when dependent-job-ID does not contain wild-
card characters, a range of master jobs’ names. To specify a range of job names,
use the asterisk (*) and question mark (?) wild-card characters. An asterisk on its
own specifies all master jobs.
Considerations
•
The RELEASE-WAITON command is available to all users, but:
°
NetBatch supervisors can release dependent jobs belonging to any user.
°
Users who are not NetBatch supervisors can release any dependent job whose
input file is a disk file to which they have write access. If the input file does not
exist or is a device or process, only the owner and NetBatch supervisors can
release the job.
•
Only one of dependent-job-ID and master-job-ID can contain wild-card
characters, not both.
•
BATCHCOM confirms the release of a job by the RELEASE-WAITON command
with the message:
Job job-name Jobnumber job-number altered
•
The scheduler records the release of a job by the RELEASE-WAITON command
by writing an UPDATE event to the job and scheduler log files. For example:
R[ELEASE]-W[AITON] dependent-job-ID FR[OM] master-job-ID
