How to remove the jobs from the Request Queue?

There are three ways  to remove the jobs from the Request Queue.

Restart:

      The term restart is interpreted as restarting the job in the step in which it has failed. We can even restart from any other step also.

       Restarting a Job in CA-7:

                    Insert the restart card in JCL and resubmit it in XQM panel.

       Restarting a job in CA-11:

                     In CA-11  the step where the job has to start is already tracked and we have to restart it from     XQM panel. But we can even change the step name from where it should be started.

Cancel: 

               A failed job is removed from the CA-7queue. Jobs waiting for the successful completion of this job will not run unless the requirement for the failed job is manually satisfied and if all other requirements of the job are satisfied.

             This command is used to remove the jobs from CA-7 Request Queue.

      Syntax: CANCEL, JOB=<CA-7-ID>, RESON=<TEXT>, FORCE=YES

     Cancellation of the jobs in the Ready Queue or Active Queue does not cause termination of the jobs execution.

   Using cancel command not only removes the job from request queue but also it doesn’t trigger the other jobs

.

Force complete: Force complete will not only mark the status of the jobs in the request queue as complete but also triggers the successor jobs.
