Deleting a job

You can delete jobs from the queue, whether they are active or pending. Deleting jobs from the Job Queue Manager window will completely remove them from the job queue.

You may not want to use the Delete Job button if you are deleting an active job that repeats at automatic intervals (determined when you create the job). The Delete Job button interrupts and removes the job completely from the queue. As a result, the job is not rescheduled for its next automatic interval. You will have to recreate the job if you did not save it to a script file.

If you are a queue user, you can only delete jobs that you submitted. A queue operator can delete all jobs.

To delete a job:

  1. Highlight the job you want to delete.

  2. Click the Delete Job button.

    After confirming, the job is removed from the Job Queue list.
