1.3.3 Releasing a background job
To release a job (specify the job start attribute), use either of the following methods:
When the -rs or -ri option of the jr3bjsub or jr3bjcpy command is used to specify the job start attribute, the job can be released after creation (scheduling). The jr3bjrel command can release jobs that were not released by the jr3bjsub command and jobs that are created in the SAP system. You can specify Release job as soon as possible or Release job immediately as the job start attribute. When the command is executed, the SAP system job scheduler executes the job according to the job start attribute. The job status then changes from scheduled to released.
If the -wait option is specified for job release, job completion is monitored. If a child job is generated while the target job is being executed, you can monitor job completion that includes the child jobs (completion monitoring of parent and child jobs). When you monitor the completion of a job, the keyboard and other input devices will be disabled until job execution terminates. If a communication error occurs during job completion monitoring, the connection will be retried until a timeout occurs, as defined in the environment setup file.
