(1) Process flow for deleting a job
When you delete from a higher system a job that has already been transferred to lower systems, the job is also deleted at the transfer destinations. The following figure shows the job deletion procedure.

![[Figure]](FIGURE/JOB0530.GIF)
To delete a job:
- Delete job A at the managing server.
When you display in the Job Status window jobs that are being deleted, job A, which is being deleted, is followed by the notation Now being deleted.
- Job A, which has been transferred to the relay manager/system, is deleted.
Because job A has been transferred to a lower system, the notation Now being deleted remains displayed in the Job Status window.
- Job A, which has been transferred to clients, is deleted.
When job A has been completely deleted from the entire system, that fact is reported to the managing server, and job A disappears from the Job Status window.
(2) Procedure for deleting a job
The procedure for deleting a job in the Job Status window is described below. Once you delete a job, you cannot restore it. When you delete a folder, all the jobs and sub-folders it contains are also deleted.
To delete a job in the Job Status window:
- Bring the Job Status window to the front, and select the folder or job that you wish to delete.
The selected folder or job is highlighted.
- From the Edit menu, choose Delete.
A dialog box appears, requesting confirmation of the deletion. If you click Cancel, the dialog box closes without deleting the folder or job.
(3) Notes on deleting a job
You should note the following points about deleting a job:
- If you set the execution time on the Schedule page, the job will appear in both the Job Status window and the Job Definition window. To delete such a job before the set execution time, you must delete it in the Job Definition window as well as in the Job Status window.
- If you delete a job whose status is Now being deleted, it will be deleted forcibly without waiting for deletion processing to complete at the relay manager/system or clients. Depending on the forced deletion timing, the job might be forcibly deleted from the managing server before the relay manager/system or clients are instructed to delete the job. If this happens, the job sent to the relay manager/system or clients might be executed before it is deleted. You can determine whether the relay manager/system or clients have been instructed to delete the job by checking the maintenance code displayed in the job details:
- If digits 3 and 4 (from left) of the maintenance code are 10
Job deletion has been instructed.
- If digits 3 and 4 (from left) of the maintenance code are 20
Job deletion has not been instructed.
- If Message box at job error is selected in the Notification Dialog page in the setup of the distribution destination system, deleting a job with an execution status of Waiting for transmission or Communication error may display an error dialog box at the distribution destination system.
- For a job that acquires inventory information periodically, Completed is indicated as the execution status once the job has executed at a client.
If you delete a job that is in this status from the Job Status window, you will no longer be able to acquire inventory information periodically from the client.
- If you delete a Send package, allow client to choose job from the Job Status window, the package is deleted from the Package Setup Manager's list of packages at the time of job deletion.
- When a job is deleted while Microsoft SQL Server is being used as the relational database, the events shown in the following table may be output to the application log, but no action is needed.
