Available Functions Depending on the Task Status

This list provides an overview of the functions that are available to tasks depending on their status.

The list below provides an overview of all the functions that are available to a task depending on its type and on its status.

In addition, a number of functions is always available no matter the status of the task. A complete list in alphabetical order of all task functions, no matter their type or status can be found here: Working with Tasks.

Available Functions Depending on the Task Status

Right-click a task and select the function from the context-menu. You can also select multiple tasks in bulk; the resulting menu displays the options that are common and available for all selected tasks taking into account the type of task and the status.

State: ABEND

Icon Possible actions With following objects Description
Deactivate ALL

Removes an ended task from the list.

One of the setting of the executable object definitions is what should happen with tasks after their execution, whether they should be deactivated or not. The following options are available:

  • Never
  • Always
  • After error-free execution
  • After error-free restart
  • Deactivate after x minutes

See Automatic Deactivation Section for details on this.

If, according to these settings, ended tasks are still active and therefore displayed on the list and you want to get rid of them, you can do so with this command.

The only exception are tasks for which the Never option has been selected. The Deactivate function does not affect them.

Deactivating workflows includes all its subordinate tasks.

Cancel JOBS, JOBP, JOBF, JOBG, SCRI, CALL, EVNT, API, JOBQ, C_HOSTG, REPORT

Stops processing the task as well as all subordinated tasks that have not yet started. Tasks that have already started continue running.
Cancel (recursive) JOBP, JOBG, JSCH, JOBQ, C_HOSTG

Stops processing the task as well as all subordinated tasks, including those that have already started.
Quit JSCH, EVNT, JOBQ, C_PERIOD

Ends a long-running activity.

Only available for long-running, recurring activities. For example, these activities execute a particular process repeatedly within a particular interval (event). They must be manually ended by the user.
Release manually ALL

Before being actually executed, tasks go through the following phases: Activation, Generation and Transfer. See Stages of Job Processing for details on this.

If so configured, it may be necessary to modify the generated JCL of jobs before executing them. In these cases, tasks are activated, their scripts are generated and, if applicable, transfers are carried out. The tasks, however, are not executed and their status is Waiting for manual release.

You select this option to execute them.
