Killing jobs on standard agents

When a standard agent is connected to a domain manager, it is easy to kill jobs using the conman kill command from the domain manager. When the standard agent is connected directly to the end-to-end server (OPCMASTER), which does not run conman, you have other options to kill jobs or recovery jobs:
  • Use the Dynamic Workload Console, with either the Z connector or distributed connector.
  • Use the IBM Z Workload Scheduler interfaces: ISPF, program interface (PIF), batch command interface tool (BCIT), or control language (OCL).

This action can be taken only on STARTED jobs or recovery jobs that are in the EXECUTING status, so that their JOBID is known. The JOBID is required to identify the operation that is to be killed.

You can kill the same job, while it runs, as many times as required.
