End a prestart job

You can use the iSeries™ Navigator or the character-based interface to end a prestart job and any associated inline data files for a prestart job entry in an active subsystem. Jobs can be waiting for a request or can already be associated with a request. Spooled output files associated with the jobs being ended can also be ended or allowed to remain on the output queue. The limit on the number of messages being written to each of the job logs can also be changed.

iSeries Navigator

To use iSeries Navigator, do the following:

In iSeries Navigator, expand Work Management > Active Jobs.
Locate the prestart job that you want to end.
Right-click the prestart job and click Delete/End.
Complete Confirm Delete/End window and click Delete.
