Stopping a Job Sequence (Sequencer and Internal Jobs)

[asnagaraj]

I want to know if there is a documented procedure to stop a sequence of jobs which are running and have gone to a hung state. Most of the time even after we initiate a stop request it never stops. Sometimes it shows accessed by other user when we try to edit it. We have a 2-3 level of sequenced jobs.

Thanks,
Naga.

Hi Naga,
One way to stop the sequnce would be from the director. You can stop the top level master sequence which in turn will stop the sequences within. After stopping the request would be sent to the server so will have a time lag before the sequnce stops.
You can stop the sequence by "kill" which i guess maybe or may not be an ideal way.....depending on the situation
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Ash.

You could use the "uv" program to kill. Just note down the process id in your unix server.
Or to be more brutal you can use "kill" command in your Unix server.
After the brutal killing you have to clear the status files.

That's interesting! Care to elaborate?
