8.28 Changing a Job's State

Viewpoint lets you request a state change for non-completed jobs directly from the Workload view. For example, if a job is idle, you can request Moab to cancel the job.

Do the following:

  1. If you have not already done so, display the Workload view. (Click WORKLOAD in the menu bar; depending on your user credentials you may also access the Workload view from the Home page.)
  2. In the workload view, hover your mouse over the Job ID for a non-completed job and click the icon.

    Depending on the current state of the job, the available request options appear. For example, if the job state is IDLE, the Hold and Cancel options are displayed.

  3. Select desired change request option for the job.

    Once the state change request has been passed to Moab, a message appears indicating it has been changed and the job's new state appears in Job Status column.
